Intensive Art Mentoring Residency - Life in Ruins
My practice centres around abstract painting, photography, poetry and acting. Colour is a prominent part of my expressive language. Recently, I have become interested in creating a more textured surface using discarded paper bags, amazon packaging and organic material, to draw attention to the natural world and the cataclysmic risk we face. I am drawn to the idea of breathing new life into ‘dead’ objects by reshaping their form and drenching them with colour. Transformation is an ongoing focus in my practice. Now half way through her Residency, Rebecca’s practice is evolving as she moves through mediums and follows where her instinct guides her.‘I am still basking in the exhilaration of so much space to play in. ”A Room of One’s Own” for sure!’
‘I spent several days immersed in my own story, writing and exploring memory, excavating my path and exploring who I am and what actually drives me. This is crucial, I now understand, to have as the bedrock of my Practice as I remind myself each morning.’‘I am already less concerned with actualising my ideas but allowing them to come in and pass through (…) looking at specific poetry with a personal link, as a source of discovery to see what work emerges from absorbing myself in the words and feeling my way through it.’ Join us for Rebecca’s Open Studio:📆 Dates- Saturday 30th and Sunday 31st August, 11am-6pm
