Molly Snee’s “Barbara and the Trent in Flood” is the result of a long enquiry into her relationship to the audience as both an artist and a person. Using a mix of lino print, text, photography, performance and sewing on unstretched canvas, she embraces contradiction and confusion to create sincerely and allow the viewer into her world. Attempting to find ways to be earnest without the pressure of a viewer, Snee experiments with elements like backwards text, using words as a visual creative device without it becoming the sole focal point in her work, as well as character (the aforementioned Barbara) to explore publicness and performance without sacrificing honesty. Revealing in flashes the places, people and parts of herself that feed her practice, Snee centers themes of home and identity, exploring the ways through which we all attempt to make understandable our conflicting senses of self. In this work, Snee attempts to reconcile with the audience with no clear solution, only faith in the earnestness of outstretched arms, abandoned power stations and pink rhinestones.
