Jasmine Palmer

Jasmine’s work explores her personal relationship with darkness within her domestic environment. Her paintings portray different emotions associated with varying levels of darkness, creating an uneasy negative feeling in a dark room and a positive response in a bright room. Within her paintings she acknowledges the artificial lights from electronics around the house like microwaves, lamps, and the wifi router, suggesting they provide glimpses of comfort in a dark space. Her work has developed from a fear of the dark and through the process of painting, she circumnavigates this emotion in order to separate herself from the fear.
