Tenderness, safety, and joy are embraced as an act of rebellion in this intimate exhibition, Soft Spaces. Drawing from her own experiences, Belton-Bodsworth responds to feelings of uncertainty
and alienation, often felt by indigenous people within their own homeland. Her paintings are a colourful blend of figurative representation and abstract energy. They celebrate moments of bliss without dismissing the realities of hardship. These pieces encapsulate memories, revealing a vulnerable resilience and creating a joyful space of respite. This change from past themes of healing marks a shift in her artistic journey.
