This artist has created works using layers - drawings onto clear acetate. She creates landscapes using layers of images making the pieces look 3D and as if you looking deeper into the pieces to see things revealed. This work has a sense of narrative which I find really intriging - I create narratives with my work, my writing in particular, so I wish to draw inspiration from these works to find different ways I can make my narrative pieces all the more interesting and expressive.

“Within the series I am exploring not only the working of memory and imagination but also our contemporary relationship to the landscape, where we might find ourselves in the future and how our feelings towards the landscape often center around ideas of dislocation, need and yearning.”


I am interested in layering more of my images - I have tried writing onto some of the images and then adding layers on top so only some of the writing is readable. I always work with the idea of a veil - things only partially seen - but maybe I could try and provide something clearer. The clarity of these pieces is very elegant and inticing - maybe I can experiement with distortion and clear images.
