The cyclical transitions women go through within life, specifically young women, is the vital backbone of her practice. Price wants the viewer to be taken on a journey of self-re-discovery through dance and movement with use of multiple mediums like oil paint, video and projection. Having a past of dance/gymnastics as a teenager, learning to move her body again has become important in understanding the layers of expressing herself. Price’s work engages in intimate experience and a wider feminist conversation – a layered body of work reflecting the layered experience of womanhood. Thus, each medium creates tensions that converse with each other and create an area that reclaims space and one that involves the senses.
Her final project consists of a 1.5m x 2m canvas with a video projection on top. The canvas involves abstract, gestural lines of red pink white orange blue purple and everything in between. These are on top of a black background. The colours have specific meaning that surrounds themes of violence release grief playfulness and change, all in juxtaposition. Overlaying this painting is a 1-minute looped video projection of Price dancing on Bournemouth Beach, 3 ways. She layers these to show the 3 major shifts that she’s experienced.
This piece is displayed within a dark space that allows the projection to fully emerge.
