Statement

 

Louise Giblin working on Beth Tweddle MBE clay piece

I’m predominantly visual and tactile in my appreciation of the world and produce art that appeals to both senses. MA studies exposed me to post-18th century Western art and the artists whose work I’ve found most interesting visually and contextually have been from the  early 20th century period of European art.

I produce work that is sensual, generally contemporary in nature and less fanatically political than some of these earlier movements although I’m aware that once again, machine-inspired visual references are becoming controversial, given our more eco-centric view of the world.

 I aim to convey my subject’s individuality, interests or achievements;
 I’m fascinated by how, in contemporary society, people often use such things as an armour protecting them from closer personal scrutiny
