Annabel MacIver
Luton/Dunstable
Painter, printmaker, sculptor, poet. The object often informs because history attaches itself, so I look at the meaning, place in time, future, and particularly, I consider the emotions attached.
The triggering of memories through the time portal of an object, is often the starting place for my current work, I look at their meaning, their place in time, their history and future and consider the emotions attached. I work across media, trying to catch the essence of each thought and creating a discussion between each piece. My main focuses are printmaking, sculpture, painting and the written word.
I started as a scientist with a particular interest in the mind, although life drawing and evening classes formed an integral part of my life throughout this phase. However, the need for more formal art education arose as I moved away from this to become a full time artist.
I have now graduated, and given how I work, I am looking for residencies and opportunities to research and investigate situations, objects and places and to make work in response to this. I regularly enter open art exhibitions, with some success and will continue to do this, but would relish the opportunity to start work with curators and artists on a more ‘themed and collective’ basis.
The ‘object’ may not be where I will remain; yet there remains a wealth of inspiration for me, and I will continue to challenge and push my ideas.
