The drawings, paintings and monotypes of Stephanie Forrest share one essential characteristic. In them you feel the hand and eye and heart are searching, transitive. They are not works in search of stasis, the perfect singular moment, but seem to be a response to the world as it unfolds… And the work is deeply affecting. This moment is here and then it passes. Et in Arcadia Ego: we are here for such a short while. Beautiful mutability is a sort of mortality too. – Edmund de Waal
