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.

still haven't started on destroying my own book. did you have any self-consciousness about this? i'm finding all my procrastination a crippling, frustrating and ultimately very annoying wait!
The book was already falling apart. I have been finding some gems at the car boot fair -they are in pretty bad nick so it is not so difficult to re-use them. I no longer have time to procrastinate :)
Love your drawings
