Informed by real oral histories from her family and imagined versions that expand on them, Olive Diamond's work considers migration and movement through landscape, tableau, and portraiture. She explores displacement and passage to ask who is remembered, what traditions are passed on, and where is home. Diamond places her subjects in abstract, hallucinatory landscapes, mixing her own glazes and working intuitively. The works retain an aura of chance and mystery, born through discovery and reaction.
