Image: Carrie Stanley at work At our October event, we were joined by artist and new BMN member, Carrie Stanley. Carrie has developed an individual, intuitive and often movement-based practice as a way of transforming the self through difficult personal experiences of loss. Working with oil paint, recycled fabrics, raw pigment and natural materials, she makes work that is directly responsive to memory both physical and mental. Carrie's talk took us through her processes; connection to colours and textures, dismissal of conventional boundaries and edges, the importance of drawing to life-sized scale and in the moment, and the importance of being true to self. BMN would like to say a huge thank you to Carrie Stanley for giving such a candid talk this evening, sharing her grief works and the journey that she has been on to make them. Thanks also to Judy Martin for organising and introducing the talk, and to Towner for hosting us and for all of you who attended, listened, asked questions and engaged in the evening.
See @carrie_stanley_artist for more examples of Carrie's work.
