The Ecliptic

Sonia Redfern challenges traditional hierarchies of materiality by rendering steep geological formations directly over a reclaimed plaid textile. This domestic, ready-made fabric disrupts the painted depth of the rocky canyon, merging everyday materials with the fine art tradition of landscape painting. A vertical alignment of golden lunar phases descends through the center of the composition, anchoring the earthly terrain to a broader cosmic scale. Drawing from Redfern’s background in astronomy, this celestial progression collapses the vastness of space into a tangible, layered surface.
