Angela Rimmer

I'm an abstract painter working with acrylic, coffee, ink and restrained gold leaf.

My practice is rooted in a deep connection to the natural world. It is concerned with thresholds - moments of liminal transition where perception slows and the image gives way to experience. I'm not interested in landscape as a view to be consumed, but in the conditions we move through and in-between states of arrival, pause and disorientation.

Materials play an active role. Acrylic provides structure, texture and containment; coffee and ink introduce seepage, time, and unpredictability. Gold leaf appears sparingly as a marker of light and passage - a point where something shifts.

My paintings unfold slowly and are intended to be savoured - shaped by light, proximity and time. The viewer is held within the surface, encountering the painting as a place rather than an image.

I'm keen to extend my practice beyond the canvas and into multi-sensory, wellbeing environments with immersive techniques such as augmented reality, inviting intimate participation and reflection - allowing audiences to experience hidden dimensions.
