“Generational Imprints”
contemporary art
The medium is analogue collage reproduced in print. The portraits started from photographs which were enlarged 3' x4' and intuitively reconfigured. Not so much painting pretty pictures, I am asking the viewer to ask questions of themselves. The following is my statement for the portraits on display. Also on display will be small analogue collage prints which have been part of my art practice for the last few years.
GENERATIONAL IMPRINTS
Showing and not telling is a theme throughout my artistic practice. A narrative of three generations of faces, grandmother, mother and daughter are explored in large format collage. Reconfigured faces which are easily matched but ever so off. Familiar patterns and parallel parts which shift to become unknown, uneasy.
Generational Imprints is my current body of work sharing with the viewer pieces of personal history and influence, flowers, wallpaper, patterns..etc.
