Been working on a new body of work for the past few months. I have returned to referencing the human body and moved into a new area, that of soft sculpture, My interest lies in body language and how body posture and it’s placement in space can communicate thoughts, intentions and feelings without the use of words. I have always had a fascination with the human psyche and its relationship to the body. and have been exploring the body as signifier of trauma, of elation, and all things in between.” I have also been working on curating a group show that will take place at the Pie Factory Gallery, in Margate next March, An exhibition of 5 female artists whose practice involves the use of unusual materials in interesting ways.. The other 4 artists are, Sally Haynes, Shirley Eccles , Julie Parker and Flora Gare..
I plan to show some large acrylic paintings and some of the soft sculpture figures - as above. The exhibition is planned as part of the POW! Thanet Festival, which takes place from 8th - 12th March 2017, and which aims to celebrate International Women's Day on the 8th March. The exhibition will include 2 and 3 D works made from plastic, cloth, glass, metal, resin, dust, tumble dryer lint and hair.
