After working from my studio in Spain for nine years I have returned to Worcestershire and a studio space at The Artery Studios, Worcester. Much of the work I have created since my return will be on show for Worcester Open Studios within the beautifully restored home of Ursula Mason at The Hop Kilns, Suckley in a dedicated gallery space that she has made available to me and a small group of artists.
Now living between Worcester and Wales I have been a resident artist of The Artery Studios since January 2023. Prior to that I was Resident Artist and Arts Co-ordinator for Worcestershire NHS Mental Health Trust, also Artist in residence at Worcester Museum & Art Gallery, Worcester University and Worcester Cathedral for which I received an Arts Council England Award.
Over the past three years, I have allowed myself to intuitively explore my internal personal geography and make visual representations of my ‘innerscapes’. This has often manifested in dreamlike seascapes and landscapes connecting me with the many mountains and hills I have travelled and walked through including our beautiful Malverns, my childhood home in Shropshire and the coastlines of Europe and the UK.
The images are a reflection of my interior world and how I experience existence. They are memories, experiences, sounds and smells, feelings and emotions. They are loss, love, regret, joy and hope. They are people and places known, unknown, visited and left, both physically and emotionally and those I might yet visit in the future, imagine or dream about.
As an artist this is my buried treasure for me to excavate, examine and record. Through my art I often explore and evoke emotion by utilising the lexicon of cloth, in particular gauze bandage and threads, suggesting binding, protection, injury and healing.
More recently my work has included the incorporation of natural pigments and elements, such as sand and limestone powder, alongside traditional materials and methods and I very much look forward to showing this work at Worcester Open studios.
