‘High Above The Depths’ is an abstract piece from the body of work, Whatever the Weather, by Chloé Du Bois. The works explore the weather of the mind through abstract coastal landscapes.
Fancifully daydreaming of the chalk cliffs of Dover — a place I’ve never been — this piece draws on imagined reference to gently express the intensity of heightened states and the unfathomable depths of emotion experienced throughout my postpartum journey.
Simple, expressive gestures and a soft pastel palette temper this weight… but then, how else do we survive? Perhaps just like that — until we find a little space high above the depths to articulate and free ourselves from it.
About the Collection
Whilst these pieces evolved as an exercise in simply moving brush and paint around, the intention as they sit together is that they land like ‘you’ve been there’. That the vistas and momentum in the sweeping layers of paint evoke a spectrum of emotions that belong to transitional times and offer the viewer a solace in knowing, or peace in pastel composition and contemplation.
For this too shall pass. Observe the mind as you do the weather, and you’ll be fine.
