about
| Trish has had many careers; award winning printer and graphic designer, development worker, and jewellery designer. She lived in West Africa for twenty years working and researching traditional handicrafts. These careers may have been very different – even geographically – but similarities such as repetition, the deft touch of the human hand and attention to the smallest detail were a common narrative. Through the study of nature she connects to the larger world around her, taking herself out of the insular act of creation, and stepping from observation into action. Education is a lifelong process and she returned to university in 2012. It was here that her research interests began to fully develop into a full blown art practise. She is fascinated by how the portrayal of the human face has changed throughout history and is working on a series based on this idea. |
