Out of Place Painting

I am a recent MA Fine Art Graduate from WSA (Winchester School of Art) - Southampton University. My work was among those selected for the National Open Art Competition 2010, Chichester. Later that year I graduated from Winchester School of Art with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art. Also that year I was fortunate to receive the Stephen Heffer Memorial Scholarship that enabled a continuation of study at MA level. In the studio space at The Sorting Office the viewer will find a visual documentation, collection of visual responses to the everyday interior of the self and surrounding environment. Underneath the surface there lies a preoccupation with time, being, the nature of materials, Phenomenology and Ontology and the relationship between philosophy and the visual arts. Each work regardless of the process or materials used is a reaction to a moment. Accompanying the interest in the above branch of philosophy are the writings of the following people: Yve Lomax, John Dewey "˜Art As Experience' and "˜The Way We Think', "˜Blurring of Art and Life' Alan Kaprow and Art Nothing? Analogies between art, science & philosophy By Fré Ilgen
