From Uhtceare to Witch in a Bottle
From Uhtceare series to Witch in a Bottle series , Angus's evolution as a painter is not simply a transition from colour to materiality : it is a shift in the direction of power. In Uhtceare, ordinary objects function as surrogates for a wounded self, absorbing what cannot yet be faced, offering the distance of the thing when the body proves too close. In Witch in a Bottle, the object is no longer a sanctury but a source: a container for power, curiosity, and reclaimed agency. Transference remains at the heart of her practice, but its direction has reversed. Where once the self offloaded into the object, now the object emanates outward.
Throughout, she has treated objects as sites of transference: vessels that hold what exceeds the body's capacity to contain , and ask the question what remains when the self fragments.
