Hecate Asterick conducts what are surely forensic archaeological excavations into the depths of the subconscious mind, seeking out the forgotten, the overlooked, the buried, and uplifting her discoveries, revealing unfathomable vistas. Under an uncanny light, she carefully exposes each element of these landscapes of the soul; defying categorisation, refusing interpretation, her beautiful, jewel-like paintings reveal an artistic vision that travels much further than many would dare. Here there is ice, there is fire, subterranean vastness, distant planets and, perhaps, the unknown itself. Asterick lives and works on the south coast of England.
