Garrett’s landscapes are not versions of landscapes; they are states of being made visually manifest through the suggestion of a natural space opening and closing. The movement of her brushwork imbues her compositions with liquid energy and freedom from stasis, or definition. Garrett writes, “There’s such a challenge in that continual flattening and deepening that rotates around us when we’re outside, and that’s what I’m interested in discovering through painting space. Not a literal depiction of land but a quality of feeling held by it as it spins around you in time and light.”
