Flora McLachlan
£0.00
Flora McLachlan RE RCA is an artist whose work speaks of a state of enchantment.
Flora cultivates a magical consciousness through her artistic practice. Her images are born in materiality, using impermanent and chaotic etching grounds to let chance in. The copper plate enters the mordant as into a witch’s cauldron: working like this, she is casting spells. She imaginatively reworks these marks to evoke her ambiguous, dreamlike stories. Each work is bound into a tentative and poetic personal mythology.
Her recent body of work is about spiritual journeyings through an imagined landscape. A small figure swimming in a huge sea, a candle held in a dark forest, these stories describe states of mind through the medium of a sensory immersion in a numinous place.
Flora graduated from Aberystwyth School of Art in 2022 with a Fine Art MA. She is a Fellow of the RE and a member of the RCA. Exhibition highlights include Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, the Kyffin Williams Drawing Prize Exhibition, and Sarah Wiseman, Oxford. Showing previously at WCPF, in 2020 she won the Tagsmart Print Prize and in 2022 was shortlisted for the 2023 Boodle Hatfield Printmaking Prize.
Her work is held in the collections of the British Museum, Ashmolean Museum, and Aberystwyth School of Art.
