Untitled 4 ( 'Mapping Moon Gate' Series). Painting

The Artist: Born in Manchester, England in 1973. Bernadette is a Freelance artist/ designer, currently working on various projects and commissions within the North-West (England, U.K). The Artists Work: Notions of time and space in relation to personal memories, underpins the reasoning behind many of the works Bernadette creates. As an artist her work is predominantly textile based, often using the tactile and ephemeral nature of the medium itself to further question the viewers understanding of the piece. Professionally much of her career has been spent teaching abroad, however it is her years spent in Japan that have proved to be the greatest influence on her recent work. More notably we can see this reflected in her illustrations and graphic design projects, which can be viewed at www.bernieworld.co.uk .
