Abstraction

In abstraction Lootah finds perhaps the most instinctive form of her voice. A painting may begin without any defined image: colour moves, gathers and disappears; forms emerge and dissolve. Her experience of performance is still present, as movement, rhythm and breath become part of the surface. What matters is not what the viewer recognises, but what the work awakens. These paintings do not ask first to be understood. They ask to be felt.
