Suhaylah H. is an artist from London, currently residing and working in Ely, Cambridgeshire. She received a BA in Liberal Arts (Major in Environmental Geography, Minor in Comparative Literature) and an MA in Comparative Literature from King's College London. Most of her art springs from the desire to make something that feels as vast as it does intimate. She gravitates towards dream-like, abstract landscapes as a means of exploring the connection between material and immaterial worlds: birds that are not really birds at all; trees that hang down and transform into pools of water; rocks reflections more real than they are; phantoms that connect eyes to plants. In painting such dreamscapes, she hopes to capture something of the experience when the supposed boundaries of all things corporeal and intangible vanish. She is a compulsive note-taker in many forms – writing, sketching, collecting objects, recording sounds and images – a practice which lends itself quite naturally to her love of walking and hiking since childhood. Art making is an extension of this, and studying both Environmental Geography and Comparative Literature created a greater curiosity for these already deeply ruminative practices, steeped in symbolism.
