Miranda Joy Summers extends this sensual attention to colour and form. Using impasto oils and deliberate palette-knife strokes, she captures the moment when atmosphere overwhelms form, when distance softens to a pale blur and the horizon seems to fall away. Her Sulphur Crested series vibrates with the tension between spectacle and stillness. Sulphur-yellow treetops flare against cooler tonalities as cockatoos fracture the air before dusk. Using knife-work in oil, Summers distils place through absorption and re-immersion, compressing distance and foreground into a radiant field of lived experience. “Before the day slips to dusk, the landscape hangs suspended — warm and still. Flocks of Sulphur-crested Cockatoo’s wheel through the sky, their calls fracturing the air. Treetops flare sulphur-yellow; the scene turns vivid and electric before the last cry yields to sundown and silence.
The Sulphur Crested Series, created for Flinders Lane Gallery, draws a parallel between these presences: the sulphur blaze of feather and the sulphur glow of treetop. Colour becomes the connective force — radiant, disruptive, alive. These works hold the tension between stillness and spectacle, silence and sound.”
