Primordial Planets was a solo exhibition of paintings by Tessa Harrison that explored the relationship between female bodies and bodies of water. 

"My work merges the concepts of Venus as an abstract deity and as a celestial body. These women I paint are evolutions of the goddess Venus – modernizations of those ancient archetypes. 

Instead of the classical symbol for love and beauty, I portray her as an oceanic alien life form, floating between futuristic and primordial worlds, unconstrained by time or reality.

I explore the relationship between women's bodies and bodies of water. Female identity has always been the focal point of my work, encompassing ideas of empowerment, evolution, balance and duality."
