由即日起至2021年11月14日,於倫敦Simon Lee Gallery舉行的「Rachel Howard: You Have a New Memory」展覽,可見Howard重拾往日筆觸,繪出人生的變幻無常,並加上對忽發奇想與未知將來的展望,新作如《You Have a New Memory》便透過虛構的舊日記憶,回顧前期往事;《Laughing Tree》裡描繪的非真樹,而是幻想的倒影⋯⋯構想而成的大自然景象在畫布上連綿不絕,假花與葉則撒落面上,繼而在遠處溶解再成霧。鮮明的線條噴射而至,讓你不禁好奇懷疑,這是天氣所致?這是靜態圖?這是錯失嗎?好比人生,面對偶爾湧現的小風波,又怎能歸一定性?
