View from the ISS at Night - By Knate Myers

Michelle Forsyth

Michelle Forsyth has such diversity within her work it was really difficult to decide which images to share with you.  Her website is a treasure trove of images of her work so I urge you to go and have a good look at her work.

Her statement reads:


My work resides in a place between being intimately beautiful yet conceptually very dark.

I have just come to the end of my second year on the Embroidery degree at MMU so will have more time over the next few months to talk about my own work and the wonderful artists who have been ( and will be) influencing me.  I have a passion for book arts and recently found this wonderful artist working in ceramics but with a love of books  (website)!  


Egidija describes this work 

* Damnatio memoriae is the Latin phrase literally meaning "condemnation of memory" in the sense of a judgment that a person must not be remembered. It was a form of dishonor that could be passed by the Roman Senate upon those, who brought discredit to the Roman State. The result is to erase someone from history.

I was given the book "Vitamin D' for Christmas and am only now sitting down to start absorbing it.  One artist whose work I love is in the book - Frances Richardson.  In a statement on the Contemporary Art Society she talks about her work :


Making a mark is a gestural act that for me scores the intangible physical reality of being in a moment and the suspension and presentation of this moment to the viewer.

She works with + and - creating undulating, gestural yet sensitive marks on the paper.
