Ink works exploring movement and gesture through expressive line, where both human and animal forms are used as vehicles for motion and transformation.
GESTURE & MOTION STUDIES
The work focuses on the immediacy of mark-making, where form emerges through motion and response rather than fixed representation. Each piece captures a moment of energy — unresolved, shifting, and alive within the surface.

LATTA Bio
Danielle B Latta is an Australian artist working under the name LATTA. Her practice explores the relationship between movement and presence through gestural ink-based works that sit between abstraction and implied form.
Focusing on the tension between control and instability, Latta uses line as a record of action—capturing moments of hesitation, force, and release. While subjects are often not fully defined, they are never absent; movement becomes evidence of something unfolding, rather than something described.
Her work draws on personal experiences of emotional fluctuation and resilience, resulting in pieces that balance strength and fragility, immediacy and uncertainty.
Based in Queensland, Australia, Latta is currently developing a body of work aimed at expanding her practice into an international contemporary context.
