Miranda Joy Summers
MIST ~ A Solo Exhibition
November 2026
An exploration through oil on canvas of the quieting of landscape. Where colour
desaturates, sound muffles, and form dissolves.
This body of work encapsulates an expansive perspective which shifts from mountains to my
small boat on the open water. Exploring fog and spaces where solid terrain yields to
suspended moisture.
Philosophically I’m drawn to the traditional Taoist concepts of the productive void. MIST is
treated not merely as weather, but as an active, living medium. One that scatters light,
dissolves sharp edges and absorbs sound, acting as a natural filter for both eye and ear.
At the heart of the exhibition is the quadriptych Drift and Ascent, which captures a dual
movement across four continuous panels: a slow, horizontal drift, idling at river level
coupled with a vertical rise of morning mist as it lifts off the water and filters up through the
tree canopy.
By distilling scenic details, MIST, offers a landscape uncluttered by noise.
Miranda Summers is a multidisciplinary artist born in Melbourne and raised in Sussex,
England, with a background in both visual art and theatre production. She began her career
as a theatre prop maker, working across London’s West End, opera houses, and television
productions. After relocating to Sydney, she continued her work in theatre with Opera
Australia, most recently assisting the direction of Carmen for OA in 2025. Alongside her
theatre career, Miranda is a dedicated oil painter whose work is inspired by the Australian
landscape.
