CAROLINE WATSON

“Inspired by memory, dreams and childhood and coloured by an interest in history, folklore and science, my work explores imagination, and takes me on a journey into the infinite world and weird spaces of the psyche. By using a sort of dream logic, I aim to capture something of the emotive and transient qualities experienced on this adventure.”

Caroline creates both 2D and 3D work, often involving puppetry and other theatrical symbols. Sometimes evoking childhood memories, we find ourselves sitting somewhere on the spectrum between playful and sinister, usually uncomfortably unresolved. The Christmas themed collection typifies this response - nostalgic imagery that hints to something looming in the shadows.
