About the art
Artist statement
"The eternal quest for equilibrium," from the series "Public, Private, Secret,” which relates to the three separate areas, sometimes overlapping, which we inhabit in our daily lives.
As she continues on with this series, it has become a perfect escapism, a freedom to experiment, explore and play with the narrative of our shifted reality following the Pandemic and more recently all the other other significant shifts in our daily lives; Brexit, climate change, the war in Ukraine and rising energy and food prices. This series has become a diary of her daily thoughts and emotional reactions to her environment and the World we now find ourselves living in. The Artist always listens to Radio 4 whilst in her studio and this fuels her practice.
She employs saturated colour and intense spontaneous and often playful mark making to produce work that sometimes references the problems of the real world, and sometimes actively avoids it.
Signed on the deep edge and ready to hang.
