Virginia McArdle Worcestershire, United Kingdom
My paintings, prints and art bindings have been widely exhibited internationally and are held mainly in private collections.
Since the 80s I have been working with marks found in landscape, on the body, in our memory and the marks left by others.
…they can act as codes for us to classify and understand our world, to navigate a path and govern our behaviour.
Recently I have returned to work concerning the tragedy of loss and the landscape of insomnia.
The choice of materials and medium used are particular for each work and include painting, photography, typography and print. The diverse substrates used often come from my archive of forty years.
