Haunted – Mixed Media on Paper by Bethany Leaman
“Haunted” is an intimate journey into grief, memory, and reclamation. Using mixed media on paper, Bethany Leaman creates a surreal terrain where absence takes form and tenderness becomes resistance. The work evokes a house submerged in sorrow, yet blooming with fragile beauty — a reminder that what haunts us can also shape us, compost us, and ultimately transform us.
The layered textures blur the boundaries between mourning and renewal, capturing the tension of being both held and undone. Water-like washes flow across the surface, echoing memory’s persistence, while delicate marks and soft fragments suggest care as a radical act. “Haunted” is not simply a depiction of loss, but a meditation on how grief can bloom into sanctuary.
