Bluecoat Windows and Creative Landscapes, Hastings: Sally Booth Tue 24 May - Thu 26 May
Visual artist Sally Booth exhibits drawings and paintings inspired by her recent residencies on the Hastings seafront and at Bluecoat Arts Centre.
From her Bluecoat Art Centre artist’s residency in Liverpool, Sally presents a series of light boxes made in response to the beautiful studio windows as part of the Adam Reynolds Memorial Bursary 2009. Sally will also be exhibiting work from her recent residency as part of the Creative Landscapes project - An Accentuate project run by English Heritage - in which Sally explored creative approaches to heritage and access.
Sally Booth
Sally has been been passionate about colour ever since she had a box of crayons. She is drawn to expressing the celebratory in the everyday. Her work ranges from a contemporary approach to traditional still life, to travel sketchbooks and drawings on till-rolls. Being visually impaired has been a significant factor in the development of her art practice and her professional career. Sally’s practice continues to be primarily as a painter, but she also works increasingly using photography, printmaking and film. While passionate about painting, she has also become interested in the possibilities of combining this much loved painting tradition with digital technology. Sally has also begun to incorporate writing in her work having developed an interest in artistic applications of audio-description.
