Bereavement Painting

Jules Findley's practice emerges through looking at domestic issues and finding areas that are taboo, asking questions and through her artwork raises public awareness of solutions to domestic crises. Work has included research into self-harm and more recently bereavement. The studies in bereavement have led to questioning in-depth areas of contemporary funeral rites, as well as sensitively exploring child death and how mothers carry the grief of their loved one forward and return to life. Continuing her research, ideas from the wider context of domesticity are conceptually formed through questions and answers that involve research quantitatively or in reaction to qualitative research. Addressing sensitive issues and not necessarily being satisfied with the outcomes that are presented through literature, politics or media. Through collaboration with other artists such as Alice Kettle, and individual initiatives, new work emerges for exhibition, public interaction and examining sensitive issues to be discussed. Recent research is in the area of Bereavement and Loss.
