Ephemera : minor transient documents of everyday life. Halcyon colours that connect us to childhoods; 70s’ fonts and Victorian handwritten script - papers smoothed and stroked and aged by touching : physical, analogue and intimate.
Using vintage papers, old linen books and traditional oil paints, Tricia blends gestural markmaking and layered surfaces to create contemporary abstract pieces with richly visually tactile surfaces that sit within the British Modernist aesthetic.
The pieces explore memory, transformation and the quiet beauty of imperfection and noticing the often overlooked.
