HOST 2010


Image 1: A new work based on the Life cycle of Family Story. The inspiration was my Grandad Richard Scott who fought in the First World War. Fortunately he survived, What was the daily life cost of the experience of such great conflict? This is my exploration and how family story is passed down with unspoken words.


Image 2: Starting point, a poppy seed head depicting the life death life cycle. In amongst the ugliness of worlds happenings, beauty can always seen. To always honour and remember but to let go freely of all attachments. Not easy to put into daily practice. I hope this exploration will give deeper peace and understanding.


Lifeseed, Poppy.

 ...good to be back after mysteriously being locked out of my own blog... I have been reflecting upon themes and techniques which have been at my core prior to and at the outset of art college adventures, which reduce down to organic form, traditional  techniques and exploring processes. New work embraces re-examining northern textile industrial heritage set within the Pennine regions of Yorkshire and Lancashire .  Within this, is how the changing face of industry has impaired our familiar visual reference. MY response is to pay homage to L.S. Lowry's imagined Lancashire urban landscapes- which are inherent  with my own Lancashire heritage , and create my own re-imagined urban and rural landscape.  Fine art print and textile techniques such as hand felted fleece, new and vintage cloths are layered with textile techniques and process using stitch to draw together a commonality within textile narratives.
