Harriet Links explores memory and emotion through abstraction, and communicates the complexities of her personal history. The work is a visual exploration of self, revealing the layered nuances of childhood and growing up in Australia in the 80s. It offers insight into her shadow self, identity, and the process of self-discovery.

"I paint the former saw mill at Spring Bay, Triabunna, because it demands attention—not for spectacle, but for the traces of time it holds. The site is both subject and condition: a landscape shaped by use, pause, recovery and return. T.S. Eliot’s notion that time present and time past are held within time future underpins the work, suggesting history is not behind us but active within what comes next."
