Oli Turner
Oli Turner is a visual artist working across multiple disciplines, with a practice rooted in the exploration of landscape and place. Created through journeys into remote and rural environments, her work delves into themes of nature, ecology and the interrelationship between inner and outer worlds. Using a contemplative visual language, Oli’s pieces reflect a meditative inquiry into our evolving relationship with the land.
Recent works have focused on the ritual landscapes of the British Isles, particularly Neolithic sites, where layers of human history are embedded in the earth. These ancient sites serve as portals for exploring the continuity between past and present, revealing how memory and meaning are held within the land itself. At the heart of her practice is a search for solace in nature - a counterpoint to the disconnection and noise of contemporary life.
