Set just beyond the threshold of her home, Eleanor Louise Butt’s studio is less a workspace than a quiet shift in consciousness. Accessed by a pathway through the garden, entering the studio marks an intentional departure from the everyday. It’s here, in this space of heightened attention, that Eleanor’s paintings emerge: physical, immersive, intuitive, and attuned to the rhythms of perception.

Ahead of her first solo exhibition at COMA 'Unfolding Fields', opening Friday 15 May, the artist speaks to Associate Director Chloe Morrissey about ritual, memory, and the enduring imprint of a childhood garden that continues to shape the way she sees and paints the world.
