"The chequered flag" painting is all about speed, exhilaration, exhaust fumes, spiralling motion, dangerous beauty. Anyone who follows car racing (Grand Prix, Dakar Rally) know the commotion and stealth of movement required to keep on track. Through the medium of ink drawing and a ruler to create track lines and flags I have manipulated perspectives that sometimes become vortexes; spiralling out of control. I want the viewer to feel excitement and danger in 'The chequered flag" and the skilful application of form used to achieve this. I used a limited palate of indian ink with a tea-bag to add some colour on the track- see bottom right. Go to the left side and you will see a small yellow sticker, it says Saturday 12 January-Friday 18 January 2013. I decided to make this into a light bulb as part of a car.

Please visit me on : www.mariannesturtridge.com I am an art teacher by profession and enjoy the constant challenges of "problem solving" and frustration that goes with art. Teaching art has encouraged me to experiment with new approaches and draw from a history of art knowledge. My paintings seek to convey a range of human feelings from community to alienation, sometimes with a religious, mythological or fantasy theme. While teaching children with physical disabilities I explored themes on attitudes towards disability, illness and censorship. The foundation of my work is drawing, often evolving into mixed media. My painting style ranges from traditional oil and watercolour painting to experimental work in a wide range of materials including computer-based art, bas-relief and ceramics. Alongside painting I have made clay sculptures including torsos and shoes. I use my life drawings as a starting point when making clay torsos and try to capture something of the person in this work.
