Cassie Vaughan lives and works in London. She completed a BA in Fine Art at Central Saint Martins and is a recent graduate from the MA Painting program at the Royal College of Art. Vaughan uses drawing, painting and printmaking to explore elements of environmental and emotional collapse, solastalgia and imagined future landscapes. Her methodology is to build a reciprocal relationship with painting, beginning each work with instinctive marks that come to suggest landscapes, working intuitively and helping to achieve balance with a light touch. Paint and pastel are layered through a process of application and erasure, with drawing used as a means to make whole. Vaughan’s work investigates the concept of wilderness as a receptacle for our imagination and the stories fostered by and held in land. For Vaughan, painting is an act of excavation and discovery similar to archaeology and her work is fascinated by a sense of time and place that is both ancient and continually shifting; independently alive and indifferent. As such, her paintings are spaces of mystery, outside of time and occupying a tipping point between dissolution and permanence. They speak of the compulsion to be lost in landscapes that overwhelm us, even as we threaten to overwhelm them.
