Danica Chappell is a visual artist based in Melbourne who has a curiosity for spatial-temporal abstraction. Danica works with the malleability of analogue photography to investigate abstraction and concrete concepts. Entangled in an activity of process Danica re-presents materials, form and colour derived from ‘darkroom haptic’ actions. Crafted in the blind space of the colour darkroom the non-figurative constructions reveal the permutations of a tactile engagement between process, the body and materials.
