About Me
- Mandy Prowse
- London, United Kingdom
- I studied painting and printmaking at Maidstone College of Art in the 80's. Since then I have worked with photography, papier-mache, wire and textiles. The themes I explore in my work are related to birth, mortality and metamorphosis. I am interested in forms found within the human body and also in nature and the interconnectedness of all things. The line of a drawing becomes a stitched line in a textile. Finding ways of combining domestic craft with a fine-art training. Work becomes playful, rediscovering knitting skills taught me by my grandmother and then subverting this craft to elicit some kind of deeper meaning. The material informs the structure of the work. My life dictates the content.

Hi you!
Isn’t fantastic when things are one thing and when you get closer it’s something else, and when you use your imagination it’s turn into something else?!
I like your three last posts, first the one with the amaryllis, it looks like your nice big sculptures, both in colour and shape. So amazing that some thing could be so similar and in another way so far from each other…
The “wool” or “felt” flower is also amazing and lovely and I can understand your ideas of just felted flowers… I really like when things turn into something else.
Your hybrids drawings are fantastic! Like them very much and I also like the thought of add something to the drawings, a silent collage.
Keep up the good work and have a nice spring time!
With love and thoughts Paula.
I hope you understand my English?! I try my best as you know…
I really really love your drawings, the patterns are wonderful
Carolyn :o)
New work? These are lovely.
