Karen Prentice

I am intrigued by the traces, fragments and marks which we leave behind on a daily basis. This is central to my art work and has been a continual theme which has ran through my work for many years.

This current body of work is a continuation of this theme in that I have used primarily abandoned, discarded and found traces of artistic activity as a basis of the work.The unpredictability in obtaining the source materials has meant I have had to respond and change the work as finds have presented themselves.

The pieces are all mixed media collage on board.My work is an organic process using conventional and unconventional materials and processes to build up impressions of remote and rural landscapes around Scotland.

Due to the current pandemic and the lockdown of the country I have had to be more resourceful in obtaining materials to work with. I would like to thank my fellow artists kindly sending me their discarded art work through the post.
