A Distant Glitter

My name is Sally Kirk and I am an artist based on Dartmoor. I have a studio space in Green Hill Arts in Moretonhampstead.

My work is usually about the landscape around me. I record with sketches and photographs and then I re-make what I remember. So it is more my memory of a landscape.

I search out interesting motifs, shapes, colours, patterns and I recombine them into a new possibility. Fragments of memory. I like to over-lay, distort, re-invent, but reality is usually the starting point.

I might recombine different viewpoints, manipulate scale, introduce mood though colours and tones or try to show the beauty in the unusual forms that interest my eye.

I work with a variety of media. Mixing it up, acrylic paints, inks, collage – I experiment to see what takes my fancy on any given day. Some days it is collage, other days my process is all about detail and pattern, and on some days it is mark making and texture.
