dislocation
Loss is something that we all have to deal with at some point in our lives. After the untimely death of my mother, I has turned to my beloved art to try and make sense of the way I feel. Using print making and a series of reference points, I am creating a series of work through which I hope to capture and identify the way I have been left feeling, which has no words, as yet
DISLOCATION
This video was made to accompany my exhibition of the same title in July 24. It is suggestive of a transitional place. Having left one place, yet not quite having fully entered the new place. Grief can leave you feeling in a strange, unfamiliar place. Especially when it is your mother. The one who birthed you, and knows you intimately. It leaves lots of unanswered questions because you can't revisit conversations or situations and ask - what happened there? Why did you ... why didn't you...
wishful
A plate made with recycled packaging, then inked foliage added to produce a mono-print. The figure is a motif I use a lot at the moment, it is my daughter walking ahead, her reflection caught in a puddle. But there has always been a loneliness about the image, and it is evocative of the journeys we have to make alone. Sometimes feeling ill equipped. There is a beauty and strength despite the fragility of the leaves.

Traces left in our dreams, snatches of conversation, smells....

This image was about the relationships that we lose, move on from, are reminded of. Traces of them are left in familiar places, for us to revisit in our hearts.
