Artist Reviews:
“Knitting was a form of
writing for Annemarie
Murlands’s mother, Agnes. She
wrote the family history in
striped jumpers and plaid
blankets and Murland remembers
clearly the year her mother
taught her to knit – the new
skill felt just like learning
another language. These days
abstraction is the language...

Artist Statement for Annemarie Murland

Annemarie Murland: Artist Statement: A Long Road Home an exhibition of works of art for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Fine Art.
Embedded within the structure and surface of these works of art are the remnants of past and present landscapes and the after memory of lives long gone. Characterised by paint upon surface, I hear the sounds of time past in this illusory space where a deep connectedness to my home space, Glasgow continues to flourish. In silent reverie I still smell the rain as it mingles with the fragments of detritus that lie casually upon and in between the tar macadam that borders my childhood playground, Glasgow Green. It is in temporal space where memory and reality embrace, attaching like electricity to the surface of the picture plane that once again, I am home. [A Long Road Home, Annemarie Murland 2009]
A personal experience of migration provides the content for this research and exhibition titled A Long Road Home. Narratives of identity, displacement and loss, common to the migrant experience are translated within an abstract visual context to describe a felt experience. As concept and inspiration for both the works on paper and the paintings, memory and landscape translate into material form to explore an attachment to a cultural past and the movement between space and place. Movement as a condition of migration is a developed theme in this thesis and is described through mark making and surface, warm and cool colour, which navigate the space between picture plane and the Northern and Southern hemispheres, Scotland and Australia.
