In my work I construct allegorical settings in order to explore, comment upon and sometimes confront injustice and violence. Although my work has serious intent, I poke fun at myself and use humour, pathos and the unexpected to engage my audience. I have used a range of media, and shown installations, drawings and work in new media. I have...

I focus on how things are visually perceived rather than what is objectively 'real'. Places and occurrences I have seen are broken down into components or motifs and put back together from memory, employing imagination to fill in the gaps. Each piece becomes an intuitive response to daily observations. Horizons, skies, symbols, objects and...

I so love light ! I make light to look at and enjoy... and to transform and refresh a space, architectural feature, 3D object or just as an experience in itself. My work involves the creation and sequencing of light which changes colour, and of placing a singularity or multitude of changing colours within different forms to enliven,...

“Brown uses the discarded clothing of the old - vintage undergarments, slips and petticoats, intimate materials in colours called ‘rose’ or ‘mint’ or even ‘flesh’ – to form the raw material of her tense, suspended, offerings. She’s self- confessedly interested in the edges, the boundaries of...

Change the world - rebuild it in clay. I work with clay because it is such a responsive material. It is a pleasure to work with a medium that does (almost) what you want. Clay can be moulded when it is soft, when pressed it holds the shape you give it, when it dries to a leather-hard state it can be worked like soft wood or plaster, carved,...

I make embroidery that is physically substantial, objects built by layers of stitch, making forms that refuse to settle. By manipulating unorthodox materials but using traditional techniques I leave an uneasiness within the work. In this way my work may be placed within a traditional of process art, particularly as objects that contain evidence of...

Concepts During the past five years my work has increasingly concentrated upon the interpretation of landscape. This has resulted in a detailed or 'forensic' study of remote locations, analysing 'moments' experienced in these places. This has included a visit to Antarctica with the British Antarctic Survey (BAS). A key work in this...

ConceptsI am ultimately interested in social behaviour, both in life in general and within the art world, in how people form their identity, how they portray themselves to the world, in their desires, ambitions and fantasies. Many of my ideas stem from observations of cultural rituals, of daily events and colloquialisms. I am concerned with how...
