Like a Moth to the Flame

£370.00

Single Edition Print on silk viscose velvet backed in black cotton and presented ready for hanging

Paradigm Series, 2008

A fusion of digital images taken from the Rembrant museum, Leeds Victorian Quarter, textiles and an old rag doll are  fused here to suggest a narrative. A candle, the abiding image of transcendence, glows before this 16th century enclosed and possessed female. She is surrounded by the female trappings of today, bags, zips, golden pins - while she  displays on her person those valued in  her  life, pearls, a ring, lace, richly embroidered velvet. She clasps a rag doll, as she herself is clasped and surrounded by another’s arm and hand.

Artist Profile

     I am absorbed by the capacity of remnants, old china and other crafted belongings to evoke and resonate values now lost or in transition for they

    offer glimpses of past and present human preoccupations. Digital photography and computer software can next combine to create palimpsests

   of traces of existence across centuries and continents. My paintings also explore the presence of the past in the present. Pretty things can seem  

    decorative and indulgent distractions but can also serve to remind us of their service as tender traps.

     My printed works are the result of an extensive process using both SLR digital cameras and a short focus camera to capture exceptional detail.

     The subsequent images are fused and changed through the use of software, such as photoshop, to create images with implied narratives.
