ABOUT THE ARTWORK
The Alice Suite by Marianne Sturtridge, 2012-2013.Inspired by Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, the Alice Suite of paintings pays homage to Lewis Carroll and his original illustrator John Tenniel. The work seeks to retain the mystery and magic of the original Alice stories. I created these paintings by continuously reading extracts from the book, making drawings and then reading some more. I feel this kept me in the character of the story while freeing me in my art to delve deeper and deeper into this strange , other world. I began by drawing a giant brown chair in black ink and adding lots of kitchen utensils,some inside a wire container. This became a huge spring to help Alice change shape (right side of painting). Alice has a tube growing out of her face, this might be used as a straw for drinking and give the painting its title "Drink Me". I like the interior quality the grey background lighting contrasted with the colourful objects in the foreground. Watercolour and ink drawings on paper are the main ingredients here.

Please visit me on : 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.
