Dark chaotic figurative paintings that ask metaphysical questions like: Who are we? Why are we here? What is the point? and Who does the washing up?

New watercolour and ink experiments with ink nibs New watercolour and ink experiments with ink nibs and new paints generously given by the wonderful @catherineharveyjefferson Thank you! ‘I address my words to you and myself’ (25x25cm) springs from a struggle to enunciate, to find voice and representation-and a deep longing to see friends far away in cities. Somehow Birmingham canals appeared in the background. I love living so close to the sea yet I love and miss visiting dark and historically laden urban space. #words #missingfriends #painting #watercolourandink #birminghamcanals #beingthere #metaphysicalart #multipleselves #beingmany #figurativeart #womenpainters
‘I can’t wait to be in your shoes’ (gesso, o ‘I can’t wait to be in your shoes’ (gesso, oil and bitumen paint on canvas,70x50x4cm, 2019) is a rather dark take on the nursery rhyme ‘there was an old woman who lived in a shoe’ ( who had so many children she didn’t know what to do’- for those of you not acquainted with such historical pearls!) I wanted to somehow subvert the usual idyllic representations and tropes of large families-and mothers who cope. As one of 6 children my experiences didn’t stop me going on to have 4 children - indeed research shows us we often unconsciously repeat family patterns. Education and representation has a huge role in ensuring that women have control over their bodies and choice when it comes to how many children they care for. #battleforpolandswomen #progressandfreedom #shoes #smalllivingspaces #nurseryryhmes #childpoverty #mealsforchildren #paintingwomen #womenslives #painting #feministart
‘Reflections on the transparency of care around ‘Reflections on the transparency of care around the world’ ( watercolour and ink on paper, 50x 40 cm) was painted a few months ago when I was beginning to enjoy the freedom of watercolour and thinking about ‘transparency’ and ‘care’ -and how often we take women’s caring roles for granted. Women are not necessarily more caring than men and often have to learn to appropriate and caring play the role assigned to them. An especially sore subject in many lockdown homes I am sure. The complex scenes I depict try to convey paradoxes and engender empathy and change -for ourselves as well as others. #care #painting #womenpainting #womeninart #representionofcare #empathy #figurativepainting #refletion #transparency #artoninstagram #watercolourpainting #watercolourandink #philosophyofcare
