MASTER OF FINE ART WORK

Naylor’s work delves into memory, emotion, and personal transformation through abstract expressionism. Her practice is centred on themes of mental health and healing, using layered, immersive pieces that encourage introspection. Symbols from nature, such as butterflies, the moon, and the sea, play an important role in her work, representing change, vulnerability, and resilience.
Naylor often begins with a black canvas, gradually building layers of acrylic, watercolour, and ink. This process of layering mirrors emotional depth, translating feelings like anxiety and depression into visual textures and colours. She draws inspiration from the movement of water and natural landscapes, exploring the balance between light and dark as a reflection of emotional journeys.
Her work aims to create a sensory and emotional experience for viewers, inviting them to engage with their own memories and emotions. Naylor’s current practice also examines the concept of a 'safe space' for healing and introspection. Contemporary influences, including K-pop music, particularly its emotional resonance, play a subtle role in shaping her creative approach.
As her practice evolves, Naylor continues to explore personal struggles while connecting them to universal themes of resilience and transformation.
