Untitled - Limited Edition 1 of 1 Print

I graduated at the Surrey Institute of Art & Design University College in Farnham, (now UCA) with Fine Art BA Hons and then went on to The University of Reading in 2008, to gain a PG Diploma, "˜The Body and Representation'. For some time my work was grounded in printmaking at South Hill Park (SHP) in Bracknell which I extended into digital and mixed media and have now returned to painting. The subject of "˜belonging' and "˜place' and how we inhabit/identify with our space is personalised by our own thoughts and memories. The new inert space we first walked into becomes fixed in our minds as somewhere which affirms part of ourselves. The psychological extent of our relationship with the physical world reflects our own internal conscious world. "˜Place' is evocative, sometimes revealing the fragility of being - I view this as an investigation into how we "˜fit' - what has gone before, the evidence of life and how we crave to belong.
