Fluid, lucid acts of chance create considered interactions.
During an early period of investigation in Berlin, Levy worked only in Black and White media and materials utilising both large and small formats in order to develop her layering techniques.
Technically she works with a visual vocabulary using canvas, silk, paper and ceramics that creates lyrical and translucent works reminiscent of the experience of reflected candlelight that invite the viewer to fall forward into spaces of dreams and ideas.
Levy uses her body not just as a tool, but as an active, thinking, sensing agent. “Action” paintings in the true sense of the word as no paintbrushes, underpainting or prelimineary drawings are implemented.
This embodied practice rejects the separation of body and mind and values intuition, sensation and physical experience equally with intellectual analysis.
The works map emotional and physical terrain, layering experience, stories and imagery. The delicately layered remnants form series of interior allegorical landscapes, informed by an interweaving of memory and the immediately surrounding landscapes physical, intellectual and sensual.
