International Artists Workshop - Annette Lawrence (USA)

Artist's Statement

"My current studio practice is a balance of installation work, and drawing/painting. My work is generally related to text and information, physical space and time, and various autobiographical matters...  All of the work is made of humble materials such as brown paper bags or craft paper, ink, acrylic paint, cotton postal cord, packing tape, and Velcro.  The value of the work is not in its materials, but in the exchange that occurs between the viewer, the piece, and the ensuing conversation."

Wednesday 6 June 2007 - Blog

As I passed this stone house for the first time I was curious about what the view might be from the window. I undertook the job of clearing it so that the view would be accessible. I enjoyed the idea of clearing the brambles from the inside of the house. The fireplace became the focal point. Using the brambles as fuel for the fire seemed like a good way to welcome our community into the space.

Hello Annette
I hope you enjoy Tanera Mor, it looks like a wonderful setting.I'm a visual artist living on a tiny island in the inner hebrides. I think I recognise your name from a piece of work I saw in USA. Could I have seen your work in a shop front in downtown Seattle about 15 years ago??
A beautiful piece with photographs and hand written text, black men die of rage...?
Just curious. I hope the residency goes well for you and your work. Say hello to Ewan from me, I used to work with him before I became an Island hermit,
