Judy Tricks' latest Exhibition "Full Circle "is a body of work about return — not as retreat, but as a deepening.
For years Judy's practice was defined by movement: new places, new light, new ground underfoot. This exhibition marks a turn inward; toward a landscape she now knows intimately rather than one she is encountering for the first time.
These new paintings sit at the threshold between observation and memory. Skies dissolve into water; horizon lines blur where sea meets sky meets recollection.
Judy's works hold both the immediacy of a single sitting and the accumulated weight of years spent looking — the way a place changes not because the land moves, but because we do.
There is a kind of homecoming in this work, both literal and formal. The paint sits differently on the canvas now — looser in places, more deliberate in others — as though the years of travel have been folded back into a single, quieter language.
