Ayobola Kekere-Ekun Hide but Never Seek (Sketch), 2021 Pen on Watercolour Paper Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) Ayobola Kekere-Ekun (b. 1993) is a contemporary visual artist. She was born in Lagos, Nigeria. Her B.A. and M.A. in Visual arts were received from the Department of Creative Arts, University of Lagos; where she majored in Graphic Design. She is currently pursuing a PhD in Art and Design at the University of Johannesburg, South Africa. Ayobola is also a Lecturer at the Department of Creative Arts, University of Lagos. Ayobola's work often explores subjects connected to gender, mythology, power and the human condition in a multi-layered way; creating work through a labour-intensive process. Her work is heavily informed by personal experiences and observations. She is particularly interested in exploring the subtle interplay of time, space, gender, power and social structures in contemporary society. Ayobola works predominantly with a technique known as quilling, in which strips of paper are individually shaped to create forms. She tends to quill with a variety of materials that respond well to the technique; including ribbon and strips of canvas. She constantly experiments with new ways of exploring materials and their capabilities. Ayobola views the intricacy of her work as a visual metaphor of the complexity of the subject matter she engages with.

The first is an attraction to lines. I have always had a genuine fascination with lines. I think it's interesting how the primary component of all complex forms can be ambiguously loaded with meaning. A line can connect and separate, enclose and exclude, direct and misdirect, all at the same time. To a large extent, my work is a three-dimensional manifestation of lines. I amplify their complexity by enabling them to catch pockets of light and cast subtle shadows. This becomes an avenue to tease out smaller stories within wider narratives visually. The second pillar is the seeming neutrality of paper. I view paper as a conceptual Trojan horse. It's a basic, unassuming material that exists in the backgrounds of our lives; bland, reliable, and ordinary. By making paper the visual centrepiece of my art, I encourage my audience to reconsider the material's value and potential. This re-examination also underscores a running theme in my practice, which is that things are rarely what they appear to be. The use of fabrics in Yorùbá, Nigerian society is my third pillar. Across my practice, I use fabrics as a reference to the practice of Aṣọ ẹbi in Nigerian society. Aṣọ ẹbi, which translates to "family cloth" refers to the selection of a fabric that serves as a "uniform" worn by families and friends alike during communal ceremonies such as weddings, birthdays and funerals. It is intended to be a show of love, support and camaraderie. The practice has, however, been corrupted in contemporary times, becoming a common source of disputes when prices are excessively inflated to turn a profit and community members are unable or unwilling to acquire the fabric. My use of fabrics references how the positive can quickly mutate to take on negative connotations. It is also a visual representation of societal pressure and expectations. I enjoy exploring themes related to gender, memory, mythology and identity. My work involves placing strips of paper on their edges to create forms. It is a rather labour-intensive process as each strip must be manually measured, manipulated and secured. I approach paper as a means of painting without pigments. The visual complexity of my art becomes a visual metaphor for the difficulty of the themes I tackle. My art is often visually playful and engaging, characterised by intricacy and bright colours. I think of the visual accessibility of my work as a "trap" of sorts. It lures an audience into engaging before revealing the darker subject matter the work deals with; a constant reminder of the fallacy of face value." Condition Report: Condition Report Disclaimer

Liz Dexheimer Burst Series: Conversations with E, 2021 Synthetic Polymer on Paper Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) Liz Dexheimer is a contemporary American painter and printmaker. Her work has been exhibited widely, in both solo and curated shows, throughout the eastern part of the United States, and appears in numerous public, private and corporate collections throughout the country, including The State of Connecticut, Four Seasons Hotels, Frontier Communications, Hudson Insurance, J.W. Marriott (Essex House), J.W. Nordstrom, Inc., Ritz Carlton, United Peoples Bank and many more. Education Born in 1960, she received a BA from Oberlin College in Ohio and continued her studies at the School of Visual Arts and Parsons School of Design, both in Manhattan. Dexheimer's work is in a number of corporate and public collections including The State of Connecticut, Frontier Communications, Hudson Insurance, JW Nordstrom, Inc, United Peoples Bank. A native of Manhattan, Ms. Dexheimer currently resides in Washington, CT, where she maintains a painting studio. Gallery Representation Amy Simon Fine Art, Westport, CT, USA; Argazzi Art, Lakeville, CT, USA; Claire Carino Contemporary, Boston, MA, USA; About the postcard artworks The conversation that occurs as colors react and interact with each other, each adding its own energy and dynamic, is fundamental to my approach in all my work. My current series of paintings continues to explore qualities of light, reflection and color, how they inform and alter what we see, how they create atmosphere. My imagery is informed by the linear and fluid elements of wetland environments. I often work with a limited palette, layering and blending just a few colors to achieve a meditative stillness, a sense of place and quietude. In other work I find myself incorporating combinations of highly-keyed colors and elaborate patterning which take on a more dynamic quality. I tend to alternate between these two approaches, I enjoy how they play off of one another and inform each other. I normally work in series, digging in to various themes as points of departure. For this auction, I have created two cards: Green Suite Series no. IX, incorporating one of my favorite motifs - the long view, strong horizon and reflected elements, and Burst Series Conversations with E, recalling a delightful afternoon spent by the river, observing the flow and the play of light in the water while in conversation with a dear friend.

Kavel Rafferty White Tulip Display, 2021 Ink on Paper Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) I was raised by hippy parents. My dad named me Kavel; more than likely he picked the name up whilst travelling in India. Kavel is actually a Hindi boy's name meaning lotus flower, which is lovely - thank you for that, Dad! We moved and travelled a lot as a family and I'm sure this lifestyle has encouraged my love of adventure. I have lived all over; a couple of years in Sweden and almost a decade in Barcelona. I feel I have (finally?) settled, in the vibrant sea-side town of Margate. I came out as a lesbian quite late in life, at the age of 43. This has been so liberating for me; it has definitely been a catalyst for stronger and more confident work. I'm happy and comfortable in myself now, as an out queer woman. About the postcard artworks Queer flower. In my most recent work I explore the artistic tropes of the floral still life and flowers to examine ideas of remembrance, femininity and queerness in it's modern sense as well as it's original meaning of something strange and or peculiar. I'm looking to reclaiming flowers from their somewhat domestic life, after all, historically (until relatively recently) female artists were not permitted to paint much else. I am decontextualizing and subverting photographic flowers by redacting with paint and collage. Sometimes blocking out the detail and delicacy completely with ink brush marks, making shadows and silhouettes; an absence of light. These images can be ethereal or much darker with a gothic undercurrent, others are given a sense of joy with bright yellows and fleshy pinks. Some are trippy bodies paired with psychedelic hybrids, club lights and late nights. Other reminiscent of double exposed photos or the end of a roll of film, women in summer meadows... naked, half hidden, intertwined with painted camouflage. Some become large ice sculptures or frosted ornaments, pink fluffy clouds on table tops, dark gushing fountains or sinister squawking crows. Flowers for the dead and for the still living. Some are the darkest bouquet ever received, others glow and feel like they might continue to grow. I am continually pushing for more ways to corrupt the flowers, their meaning as well as their charms.
Freya Douglas-Morris Evening Dove, 2021 Watercolour and Gouache on Paper Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) My painting practice covers both work on canvas and on paper. In many ways the scenes I paint are based on something tangible, but there is a leaning on memory and a heightened sense of colour that leaves the paintings somewhere in the realm of the remembered and unreal. Narrative plays a part and for these two postcard paintings I took inspiration from poetry and music alongside many other sources.

Michelle Maddox Yellow Chair in Moonlight, 2021 Oil on Paper Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) Michelle is a contemporary painter, born in Cambridge, England, and now living and working in Zürich, Switzerland. Michelle's subject range is wide as her inspiration comes from form, pattern and colour, and she has a deep interest in the effect of light on her subject matter and how it evokes atmosphere and creates geometry, pattern, and balance in composition Education Higher Diploma Graphic Design. BA Hons History of art. Certificate of Advanced studies CAS art and design in practice (currently studying). MA fine art (currently studying). Painting classes at Winslow art centre Seattle; Abstraction through master copies. Exhibitions Royal academy summer exhibition London 2020, Various exhibitions in Zurich and London since 2002 to present day. About the postcard artworks The chair paintings convey many messages: the missing person, the invitation to rest, isolation or just simply the beauty of light on an object. I am interested in pattern created through light falling on objects and how they blend into their environment. A still life of fruit has always conveyed a message of peace to me. The fruit can symbolise fertility and life. I find the placement of the organic fruit in a solid bowl a perfect juxtaposition of textures for oil painting. instagram @michellemaddoxart website www.michellemaddoxart.com

Michelle's subject range is wide as her inspiration comes from form, pattern and colour, and she has a deep interest in the effect of light on her subject matter and how it evokes atmosphere and creates geometry, pattern, and balance in composition Education Higher Diploma Graphic Design. BA Hons History of art. Certificate of Advanced studies CAS art and design in practice (currently studying). MA fine art (currently studying). Painting classes at Winslow art centre Seattle; Abstraction through master copies. Exhibitions Royal academy summer exhibition London 2020, Various exhibitions in Zurich and London since 2002 to present day. About the postcard artworks The chair paintings convey many messages: the missing person, the invitation to rest, isolation or just simply the beauty of light on an object. I am interested in pattern created through light falling on objects and how they blend into their environment. A still life of fruit has always conveyed a message of peace to me. The fruit can symbolise fertility and life. I find the placement of the organic fruit in a solid bowl a perfect juxtaposition of textures for oil painting. instagram @michellemaddoxart website www.michellemaddoxart.com

Josie Clouting Collecting Colours 3, 2021 Acrylic and Gouache on Paper Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) Josie immerses herself in the landscape, from man made cultivated botanic gardens to wild stormy beaches and the rolling hills where she lives. Her paintings are intuitive, emotional responses to her natural environment, inspired by the vastness and wonder of the natural world. Josie's works are saturated with colour, vitality and energy, reflecting her response to light, atmosphere and topography. Painting and sketching en plein air is a vital part of her practice, enabling her to react to the landscape and play with loose, immediate brush marks. Experimenting with acrylics on a variety of surfaces and scales, with many large scale paintings as a result are part of the enjoyment of the creative process. Josie's physical movements creating large expansive works are an expression of the energy she feels within the landscape. Josie graduated with a degree in Fine Art from Norwich University of the Arts in 2012. Her studio is now based in Maidenhead, Berkshire, UK. Exhibitions/Awards RA Summer Exhibition 2020 Wales Contemporary 2020 + 2019 Holly Bush Emerging Woman Painter Prize (Finalist) 2020 Sunday Times Watercolour Competition (Finalist) 2019 About the postcard artworks 'Tulip Eyes' and 'Collecting Colours' refer to moments in my childhood that have shaped the work I make today. In particular they reference the relationship with my mum and the times spent in the garden together. Growing up, the garden was a creative project and a shared experience that sparked my love of the natural world.

Tiffanie Delune Moments with Self I, 2021 Mixed Media on Paper Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) Tiffanie Delune is a Paris-born visual artist with a multi-media practice, living and working in London. Expanding from an initial focus on personal trauma and childhood experiences, her practice is instinctively embarking on a wondering wandering. She weaves apparitions in dreams and travel recollections with symbols of her mixed-race family, hints of femininity and flux of spirituality. Navigating between her shadow self and full of light, movement and energy forms, Tiffanie is interested in the magic of storytelling that engages conversations and evokes emotions. Approaching her work with playfulness and an intuitive curiosity, she creates multilayered pieces on cotton canvas, loose linen and smaller pieces of paper; inviting for a dialogue between the scale and the subject. Letting go of any inhibitions in the choice of materials, she longs for textures, meanings and a sense of memory - from acrylic, pastels and papers to glitter, threads, loo roll, keys, bags and dried flowers. In a conflicted world that feels deeply saturated, she puts a special emphasis on sharing a blended, unfiltered narrative in all its depth and authenticity. Self-taught, Tiffanie has fully emerged herself into her practice with daily rituals and creative challenges. Her work has since been exhibited in London, Paris, Lagos and Los Angeles; featured on Forbes, BBC Radio London, Contemporary And, The Financial Times and Artsy; and is held in the permanent collections of the Fondation Gandur pour l'Art in Geneva, Switzerland as well as the New-York Presbytarian Hospital for Women and Newborns in New York City. "The natural world is center stage to my creativity from constellations to the seas, tales of the African Motherland and visions of hope - untouched places without any form of conditioning, birthing a boundless sense of being. Blooming shapes and rich colours give life to unique characters and dreamscapes that infinitely dance between independence and sexuality, strength and vulnerability, stillness and vitality.

Diana Savostaite I'll Take A Hot Bath, 2021 Acrylic on Paper Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) Diana Savostaite (b.1983) was born and raised in a small Lithuanian village. She is a graduate of Vilnius Academy of Arts (2006) and holds a BA honours degree in Fine Arts / Painting. Diana moved to London in 2006, where she has been actively participating in group and solo exhibitions across the UK. Diana uses oil painting as a primary medium to create colourful and expressive paintings. Her artworks combine lots of colour tones (from light and airy to dark and gloomy) and variety of brush strokes. The painting process is especially important to Diana. She begins her artwork with applying thin transparent colour washes, then progresses it with texture and bold brush strokes, then finishes it by adding any detailed touches. All of this creates a unique and vibrant atmosphere in her paintings. Diana is inspired by her closest surroundings, observation of daily experiences and especially - nature and a personal connection with it. In her latest work, Diana experiments with new shapes and combines them together in a various ways, so paintings interconnect with each other and create a visual story on the wall. This practice has allowed her artwork to break free from the traditional painting format or rules and has encouraged her to search for a new form of expression. Through this, Diana discovered an interesting combination between painting and shape. Exhibition/Awards Diana has had several solo shows in UK - Cole's Gallery, Leeds (2020), Thames Side Studios, London (2019 and 2017), Art Fix Gallery, London (2017), ASC - Unit 3, London (2013), London Regatta Centre, London (2013). Diana's work has been selected for variety group exhibitions across the UK in venues like Royal Academy of Arts (London), Sunny Art Centre (London), Mall Galleries (London), Peterborough Museum (UK), The Bishop's Palace in Wells (UK), The Old Truman's Brewery (London), Penarth Pier Pavilion Gallery (UK), Hundred Years Gallery (London), Unit-3 Gallery (London), Arch Gallery (London), Saatchi Screen in Saatchi Gallery (London). In 2017 Diana was awarded with Winsor and Newton Young Artist Award while exhibiting her work in Mall Galleries (London). Recently, Diana won an artist's open call with Colle's Gallery in Leeds and has been awarded a solo exhibition.

Natisa Jones In All My Glory, 2021 Charcoal, Watercolour, Acrylic and Gouache on Paper Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) Natisa Jones b. 1989 Born in Jakarta, Natisa Jones is a visual artist who works between Bali, Indonesia where she spent most of her childhood growing up - and Amsterdam, Netherlands where she is currently based. Education Jones completed a Visual Arts diploma studies in Chiang Mai Thailand and a bachelor's degree of Fine Arts Painting in RMIT University - Melbourne, Australia. Through the process of writing, drawing, painting, and video, Jones establishes a tightly-knit relationship between her personal life and her creative practice. Raised in a multicultural house hold by a Javanese mother and a Canadian father, Jones pulls narratives from her personal experiences to explore issues within identity and reflect on social dynamics. Framing moments of vulnerability, while every so often pinching sentiments from popular culture, text is regularly incorporated with imagery. Prompt by her multicultural upbringing, Jones seeks to emphasize the notion of duality as an underlying theme in every aspect of her work. Exhibitions/Awards Natisa has held 3 solo exhibitions in Ruci Gallery (Jakarta), Galeri Salihara (Jakarta) and Tony Raka Gallery, (Bali). Group exhibitions include Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Australia, Phillipines and more.

Diploma Graduation Exhibition, PTIS - Chiang Mai Thailand About the postcard artworks With 'In All My Glory' - I wanted to celebrate all sides of our being as women. Although it is easy to celebrate ourselves through our triumphs, it is the hardships that truly place our sense of self-love and acceptance on trial. Its through hardship that we learn who we truly are, our strength, weaknesses, our priorities, and how to continuously fight ourselves. Dark blues, light blues, light yellows peeking, thick limbs, pink mountains. To be soft and playful, yet to take up space and become heavy. All of it is okay. All of it is valid. It is an ongoing process to take ownership of all of it. But through every crack, every detail, I'd like to celebrate - in all our glory, as we are. "

Hannah Downing Seaweed, Silverpoint, January 2021 Silverpoint on Prepared Paper Signed verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) Hannah Downing is a visual artist living and working in Swansea. Her artworks often explore image-making technologies as experienced in everyday life, using painting and drawing. Much of her work has examined the relationship between technologies of representation and the natural world. Education MA Contemporary Dialogues, Swansea College of Art, 2015 BA(Hons) Fine Art Painting and Drawing, Swansea College of Art, 2008 Exhibitions 'Summer Exhibition', Royal Academy of Arts, London (2020); 'John Ruskin: Art & Wonder', Millennium Gallery, Sheffield (2019); 'John Ruskin: The Power of Seeing', Two Temple Place, London (2019); 'Site, Light and Survey', National Botanic Garden of Wales, Llanarthne, Wales (2015); 'Jerwood Drawing Prize', London and touring (2014); 'No No, I Hardly Ever Miss a Show', Zachęta National Gallery of Art, Warsaw (2011). About the postcard artworks This drawing depicts seaweed collected from a daily walk along the Swansea coastline. The tracing and retracing of a fixed route brought with it a greater awareness of daily and seasonal shifts: the reconfiguration of fragments washed ashore, the arrival and departure of migrating birds. The themes of repetition and transformation are carried over into the drawing - a piece of seaweed photographed, cut out of paper, curled slightly, placed and drawn in silverpoint.
Tinsel Edwards Bathroom Self Portrait with Toothbrush, 2021 Oil Paint on Paper Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) Tinsel Edwards (b.1979) is an artist based in Glasgow. She originates from the Midlands and studied Fine Art at Goldsmiths College London. Tinsel lived in London for 19 years before moving to Scotland in 2017. Predominantly a painter, Tinsel's practice also extends to printmaking, working with found materials, installation and public art stunts. Tinsel's art responds to a wide variety of contemporary social and political issues whilst also referencing her everyday experience. An imaginative and emotional exploration into the seemingly mundane details of domestic life, her paintings offer biting social commentary entwined with humour, emotion and honest autobiographical narrative. In the Noughties Tinsel was a singer in glam-garage band The Fairies Band, and later co-founded indie record label Pushing Pussy Records. Painting has always been her main thing however, and Tinsel's art has been exhibited extensively in the UK and internationally. Banksy is amongst her collectors and invited her to create work for Dismaland in 2015. Tinsel has worked with Paxton Glew, Jealous Gallery, Stella Dore Gallery, Print Club London, Pavement Licker, Pictures on Walls and Tina Ziegler of Moniker Art Fair. She is also a regular at The Art Car Boot Fair in London alongside collaborator Twinkle Troughton. In 2012 Tinsel co-founded A-side B-side, a gallery and art studios in Hackney, London. In 2017 she wrote Priced Out, a book exploring the housing crisis in London, which was published by Dunlin Press.

Bea Denton Out of Darkness i, 2021 Digital Print on Hahnemühle Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) Bea Denton's practice explores ideas around death and loss, faith and ritual. Photography, printmaking, found materials and lost images are intrinsic to her creative process. Pushing the boundaries of the technical and physical limitations of photography, her work transcends its realist conventions to achieve a deeper resonance. Denton is a collector and archivist of anonymous lives, departed and reincarnated, in pursuit of an essence in the image: the 'soul'. In her examination of faith and death, Denton attempts to find meaning and dimension through the imprint of time, light and phenomena. In a circuitous process, found images are penetrated, interrogated and excavated through alternate layers of photography, projection, recaptured from the lens of a Camera Obscura, from there back to photography and finally to print. The resulting enigmatic, dislocated images challenge a traditional idea of photography as a faithful record of reality, and instead explore the nature of perception, belief and memory. Education Denton graduated from UAL with Distinction in MA Fine Art Printmaking. Exhibitions/Awards She has exhibited widely, including publicly-sited work. She won the 2009 Creekside Open prize selected by Jenni Lomax; the 2007 Deptford X MacDonald Egan Award for Public Art, and the 2002 Ardizzone Prize (Major) for Printmaking.

Harriet Porter ...Calm, 2021 Oil on Paper Signed verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) "Harriet Porter is a London-based artist specialising in still life painting. She uses this traditional discipline to create contemporary minimal pieces inspired by her fascination with light. Working closely from observation, she creates pared back compositions of single solitary objects emerging from deep shadows or basking in soft daylight. The objects are sourced from her growing collection of antique silverware, but rather than depicting the object itself, she focusses on the shapes of tones in her view: these elegant reflective vessels exist simply as part of their surroundings, blending into - and defined by - the space around them. She works over time, gradually building layers of glaze, these subtle gradations of tone creating the illusion of slow quiet movement, like a calm river on a still summer's evening. Porter's preoccupation is informed by her 30 year career as an art director and stylist. Working in film and photography, she found the camera increasingly frustrating. As a capturing device it became insufficient to describe the wonder with which she perceived the shimmer that constantly caught her eye. Through the solitary process of painting she has been able to achieve more accurate results.

Suzanne Jill Levy Journey On, 2021 Acrylic on Paper Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) Connecticut based artist, Suzanne Jill Levy, was raised in a household saturated with art. It is her lifelong passion. With a primary focus on abstract art, Suzanne's work is bold and modern. Her use of color and graphic abstraction is powerful and exciting. Her paintings can be seen in gallery and juried exhibitions, auctions, corporate and private collections and on craft beer cans. While living in NYC she painted the New York City Marathon mural finish line art work on the road in Central Park. Her engagement in art was incorporated in all her educational endeavours. After earning a Master in Social Work degree and moving to Manhattan, she studied at the Art Students League of New York, the country's oldest independent art school. She had access to some of the greatest art museums and galleries for inspiration. Upon moving to Connecticut with her husband and two daughters, she chose to dedicate her energies to working as an artist full time. As an active member of the Canton Artist's Guild, she chairs the curation/hanging committee, assembling exhibitions of a community of artists. Currently the Gala Chair of the New Britain Museum of American Art, Suzanne donates work to the Museum's fundraising events and other organisations. With a background in social work and her artistic focus, Suzanne has taught art to adults with special needs and offers her time and talents to her community.

Focusing on colour and subtle composition changes, I alter the outcome of each piece. There is a consistent pattern that travels throughout, while maintaining every painting's individuality. The images manipulate the visual field and allow for personal interpretation and contemplation. I see this work as an enchanted forest, a world where colour and shape dominate the story.

Michelle Conway The Back Road To My Father's, 2021 Gouache on Paper Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) Michelle Conway (b. 1968) begins her work from darkness. Wiping, washing and bringing back the light to uncover a painting. She is acutely aware of light, the passing of time, and what is left behind.

Helen Dixon Rain 1/4, 2021 Cyanotype on Paper Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) Helen is a London-based artist who works predominantly with the cyanotype photographic process, which uses simple chemistry, light and water to produce a prussian blue image. Hand drawn images take the place of a photographic negative to produce the final print. She has long been fascinated by weather and the continuous movement of energy in nature, constant and without resolution. Using archive media from the National Meteorological Library and Archive and her own photographs, notes and observational drawings as reference, she considers the fundamental character of phenomena that are inherently elusive, transitory and without shape.

They start with the reflection of light through a camera lens that traps a fleeting splatter of leaves. She excludes all daylight from her studio to allow the image to travel through the cone of light from her projector to the painting surface. Here, working in the dark, she translates the colour figures into graceful marks ; the summation or negation of light. Each mark is a separate, complete gesture, crystallising the forms of coloured light that kiss the panel.

Her method was derived in part from the early filmmaking technique of matte painting, where backdrops were painted on sheets of glass and integrated by the camera with the live-action on set. She builds up the image in her studio using cut-out fragments of source material, which she makes into small stage sets on glass panels. She then re-photographs the sets and manipulates the images digitally, an act of reprocessing which takes them further away from their original context and broadens the narrative potential. Her source material is drawn from an archive of collected imagery, which includes her own photographs of abandoned buildings as well as material collected from old books and magazines and fragments of paintings. She works intuitively with the material, finding points of connection between details, either through shared subject matter or formal considerations such as following the path of light from one image through another to create spaces, which at first may appear real but on closer inspection begin to dissolve. She plays with anomalies - of texture, surface, depth, space, scale, movement and architecture - to involve the viewer in the construction of the image, and to make them question it. In the finished work there is often an uneasy sense of a space that does not quite fit together - either formally or conceptually, but possesses a reality of its own. One which we are unable to pinpoint as factual or fictitious.

About the postcard artworks: The artworks I submitted to AOAP spring from details excavated from iconic Old Master paintings. Two are from Michelangelo's Libyan Sibyl which is on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City, one is from Giovanni Bellini's San Zaccaria Altarpiece, 1505 in Venice and one is cropped from Still Life with Flowers on a Marble Ledge, 1652 life by Willem Van Aelst. I create by translating Old Master paintings into a contemporary pictorial language. Using an idiom of energetic gestural abstraction, I mine art historical imagery for colour and narrative structure. I use abstraction to interrupt representational content in order to excavate and transform meanings and messages embedded in the works from which my paintings spring. I examine the impact of authorial agency and address the myriad subtle ways the gender, identity and belief systems of the artist are reflected in the art. Old Master paintings were, for the most part, created by white men for white men. Abstraction allows me to interrupt this one sided narrative and transform it into sensually capacious non-narrative form of visual communication that embraces multiple points of view. To be clear, my modus operandi uses the past as a springboard for something new, not to destroy the past but to build on it, to reconstitute what's problematic and to celebrate what's beautiful, to radically reinvent historical art through my own perspective, in my own language, for my own time. My collages and paintings are not critiques of the Old Masters but rather a vehicle for shining a light on imbalances existent today. In this, the Old Masters/Mistresses are my powerful allies.
