“ My work is rooted in connectivity both in my subject matter and in the materiality of my practise. The journey of a work is very important; losing myself in the dynamic of physical making, the colours which emerge as the work progresses and the hide and seek of figuration which takes place. I aspire for the whole to be ever moving, a dialogue of form and colour which extends beyond the boundaries of the canvas. I often use automatic practises working ‘in the moment’ so as to be openly responsive to where the work leads me. Recent work is inspired by an archive of family reverse celluloid negatives and using them as a start point for an almost investigative exploration of my creative voice. The works are ‘developed’ in the making and transmuted through a variety of brushstrokes, materials and marks into something fully present.” Carrie Stanley, 2023
