Imposure

We are a collective of 7 artists
This is our manifesto:

We

• are doing it for ourselves
• are not complying to or with the system
• are using available resources
• don’t need permission
• believe that art is play and fun as well as serious
• are resisting the pressure of exposure or meeting expectations
• recognise the importance of the female perspective
• we only have to be good enough

I work with a range of different artforms, through a blend of collaborative and solo practice such as paint, movement and film.
I work with librarians, the public, artists, publishers and art organisations because through observation I noticed an issue in UK libraries and wanted to take action and generate solutions via my practice.

I make objects/installations often associated with performance and short films (often with humour). My MFA research focussed on transitional objects or ‘comfort objects’ for adults. I am developing this further by exploring the current relationship between masculinity and feminism.

Holding Hands

I make animations, videos, drawings and installations that respond to places, people, stories and memories, always searching for a sense of wonder. This series of exploratory drawings revisits my own memories of a childhood on the circuses where my family lived and worked.

Art is my constant companion

I seek found objects to create assemblages in a site-responsive process, aiming to frame my work within the landscape or architectural context. I use performance and collaborative approaches within my art practice. 
My work often features a sense of   space… place… time… being
I seem to be addicted to neon orange …..

My art is the actualisation of my thoughts, ideas, feelings and memories. Making objects is a way of sharing past experiences and exploring future hopes. Found objects, fabrics, phrases, all can provide starting points – midnight meanderings too. As I get older I consider the world I was born into and the prospects of the one I will leave behind.

Winged (2024) bird wings wood branches muslin clay plaster wool assorted materials debris soft pastel glue – width 30cms height 54cms diameter 74cms
A winged mythical creature emerges from the earth precarious, about to take flight. Physically and psychically teetering Winged personifies vulnerability and robustness.

Inspiration for my making lies in my surroundings and within me. I gather natural and manufactured materials imbued with memory, emotion, myths, dreams intuitively following their sensory rhythm to create forms and non-forms. Re-energised sculpted pieces emerge with a life of their own reflecting on what it is to be human through transformation and emergence.
