Jenni Doherty - Artist - Paintings

Artist Statement

The themes in my work have been varied but a continuing link is the use of pattern and a fascination with time. The layering of images from different time frames and contexts is about investigating the landscape of collective culture. Being an artist in a world where we are constantly bombarded with imagery, these works are my response to the changing world I live in with a focus on relationships, memory and emotion. Using a variety of media including lino block prints, acrylic, gold and silver leaf, oils, paper and textiles, these works demonstrate and defer to the handmade, and the preciousness of time.
