Gillian Widden

Taunton

My work is informed by my rural surroundings, nature providing me with the physical material and the inspiration for most of my work. This usually involves traditional skills such as coppicing, stripping, splitting, and charring of wood, and weaving with natural materials, to create contemporary art works.

The quantities of the material gathered, and the preservation and decomposition of this material has become increasingly important to my work. This work can be of a permanent or transient nature, and reflects my preoccupation with the passage of time and the fragility and preciousness of life.

Work includes site-specific installation for both interior and exterior spaces.
