Hettie Inniss
Hettie Inniss explores the fluidity of memory and identity through her sensory painting practice. Drawing on her British Caribbean heritage, Inniss works from involuntary recollections, capturing fleeting sensations triggered by smell, sound and texture. Her canvases embrace ambiguity, layering figuration and abstraction to reflect the instability of memory and the freedom found within it. Working with warm, earthy hues and unconventional materials like sand and linseed oil, Inniss creates compositions that feel tactile and immersive. Her practice transforms the act of remembering into a dynamic process of learning and unlearning. Challenging the notion of fixed narratives, Inniss’ paintings inhabit a space where personal histories merge with universal themes. Evoking the tastes, sounds and rhythms of memory, identity and experience remain in flux.
