In Impressions of the In-Between, Ross Passmoor presents a meditative series of monotypes that evoke a quiet, tactile language of memory and materiality. Working with found objects, Passmoor prints directly onto canvas using a restrained palette of soft beiges and pale greens, tones that suggest erosion, softness, and transience. Each piece operates like a visual echo, capturing fleeting gestures and subtle textures that might otherwise go unnoticed in the rush of daily life.
The process of monotype, a singular printmaking method that resists replication, mirrors the fragility and uniqueness of the materials embedded within each composition. Bits of organic and industrial detritus become part of a quiet archaeology, their imprints suspended within veils of pigment and open space. Here, surface becomes story: an accumulation of marks, a soft trace of what was once held, handled, or discarded.
Passmoor’s work resists spectacle. Instead, it leans into the liminal spaces between past and present, presence and absence, touch and release. This body of work invites us to slow down, to look again, and to consider what quiet forms might emerge when we attend closely to the overlooked.
As an exhibition, Impressions of the In-Between is both a material investigation and an emotional cartography. It offers a deeply felt exploration of fragility, impermanence, and the quiet poetics of the everyday.
