"Airborn" Fine Art Print

Teresa Pooles distinctive blend of japanese and western influences is taken from a lifetime of random memories, dreams and thoughts, sometimes which she has painted over the years and rearranged to bring an order out of chaos rather like a museum of her mind…
She works organically starting with an inky watery abstract flooding metal leaf and verdigris oxidation using Sumi ink and handmade pigment inks on gilded metal leaf, then taking the image to a more traditional composition .
She says she sometimes feel more a conductor in an orchestra of colour .. leading the paint but never completely in control of where it’s going .. but always in the hope that it leads to another magical world.
Poole’s work is a reflection of memories and emotions, of beautiful Japanese screens which she painted and restored in Notting Hill london. Places, experiences glimpsed or visited, sometimes in the flesh but often in the imagination. Producing a medley of vivid coloured but dream like ethereal images of floating running water and nature on glowing metal leaf and silks using inks , gesso and patination
