details about this work


Colin Ainsworth is based in South Walsham, Eastern


My recent activities are a synthesis of earlier interests, with new digital, 3D and artists' books researches. I use autobiographical and archival material to comment on ageing, sensory loss and being an artist, often using humour. I describe myself as re-emerging, because I am always fundamentally reassessing my approach. and completing an MA in Fine Art challenged everything else.
