The Mechanics of Sleep

Crippling nightmare induced insomnia slowly and silently steals life from me.
It devours time and feasts on both day and night, never offering more than the fugue-laden awareness that eternally slips from my grasp. Here there exists a place between the sleeping and waking worlds.
A liminal space – distorted and cruel.

‘The Mechanic of Sleep’ represents the warring tides of nightmare, both sleeping and awake. A ravaged state of not being.
A mind stranded between the two shores in a prison of ebb and flow.

My name is Kitty Hiraeth. I am currently based in Perth, Western Australia.
Using a variety of mixed media, my work is primarily expressive, non-representational abstract painting full of emotion, colour, and texture.
Each piece represents an extensive emotional exploration and deep personal introspection. Each painting is the final product of an often arduous yet always cathartic process. Each has its own story.
