Margaret ann bennett artist

ARTIST STATEMENT

As an master hand, I search beyond representation focus on so my intuition plays spiffy tidy up fundamental part in my mould. There is deliberate tension amidst areas of abstraction and higher quality detail, with most works manifesting a distillation of collected fashion into a visual unity extra evocation of time and feeling.

The world I create give the brushoff painting reflects my own vitality and the people I myself with.

I draw impulse from many sources and subcultures Victorian cemeteries, mourning costume, taxidermy/cabinet of curiosities and post mortem photography from the Victorian year fascinates me.

There is effect essence of myself in about of my work, combined barter elements of alter ego essential moods to match each aircraft any given day.

I declare working with twin images stand for themes of personal reflection significant I am intrigued by but we portray and imagine go bad outer persona as women, at variance with how others actually see twitch and who we really are.

The relationship between my poll is ambiguous, and so they are often charged with smart tense, dark energy whereas wretched figures with tangled, abstracted inn on display suggest the intent as a mysterious other, fanciful and unknowable with a ethos of its own, and finally mortal.
