her aura continues Hilarie Mais's decades-long exploration of the grid as both a geometric and biological structure – an emblem of order, emotion and embodiment. The work leans within the gallery space – standing at human scale – like a threshold or self-portrait of presence. A hybrid between painting and sculpture, her aura exemplifies Mais’s “feminisation of minimalism” through its handmade intimacy and autobiographical depth. Dominated by green – a colour representing memory and nature – the work becomes both a personal tribute and point of transition between the formal and the organic.
