Imogen Allen's practice explores ecology, perception and the shifting relationship between self and world. Her paintings draw on close encounters with the natural world, transforming subjects such as butterfly wings, fungi and natural phenomena into expansive fields of colour, light and sensation. Through magnification, the familiar becomes strange: a tiny fragment of a wing can suggest a vast landscape, while architectures of colour become spaces through which the senses swim. The softness of Allen's paint blurs the boundaries between these spaces, creating a dream-like reality inseparable from the mind interpreting it.
