About The Artwork

I created this as part of my studies for a fine art degree based on memory and destroyed communities. It was my first experiment in the use of resin, by carving the 'House' first in wood then casting it in resin and combining the image of my sister painted in watercolour on toast, no easy task. The image represents our childhood memories growing up in Manchester slums in the 1940`s & 50`s. Bread has a significant associated memory for us both as we were often starving due to food shortages, an abiding memory of discovering the only thing to eat one morning was a curled up crust which the mice had nibbled. The houses we live in absorb the traces of our existence and are locked in long after we leave, the house becomes a repository of memory. This work continues to evolve with air bubbles continuing to be created inside the air pocket of the resin and beginning to hide the image, how long before it can no longer be viewed only time will tell. Should someone be interested in purchasing this, please contact me.

Born Manchester. I studied Fine Art painting & printmaking part time over 5 years as a mature student, whilst juggling a demanding job, and in 2007 obtained a Degree BA Hons Fine Art Painting/printmaking from Brighton University.I take much of my inspiration from disused buildings and industrial sites, and nature. I love life drawing and anything that inspires me. My degree works of screen prints & etchings are based on Geevor Tin mines in Cornwall and used as a metaphor for destroyed communities. More recent works result from taking my drawings or my photographs as a starting point, the resulting paintings are not a literal description, more about my initial experience. It is about capturing something of the memory, a certain feeling associated with subject or the atmosphere of buildings and places. I use watercolour, and acrylics with mixed media. I would also love to do more printmaking when I can afford the equipment and a space of my own. In 2022 one of my still life watercolour paintings of Nasturtiums and Cherries was selected as a floral tribute to appear in the book ' Christian Spurling Picture Me' A Marine Artist, edited by Steven D. Smale.
