Brighton based artist Louise Bristow begins her artistic process with the creation of miniature stage-like setups, which serve as the foundation for her paintings. By incorporating found objects such as photographs, packaging, and prints, alongside meticulously crafted hand-built structures, Bristow creates compositions that are rich in depth and complexity. In the finished paintings, Louise achieves a striking visual effect where objects or figures appear to straddle two realms: partly emerging from the background or a past time, while simultaneously receding back into it.
Coco Crampton’s aesthetic has developed in a similar way, describing it as “A process of borrowing, hi-jacking and reinterpreting from various periods in design history”. Coco’s non-medium- specific practice reflects her dynamic and exploratory approach to making work, allowing for a fluid movement between different processes and materials. This flexibility enables the artist to draw from a diverse range of techniques and traditions, including knitting, carpentry, ceramics, and printmaking, each offering its own unique set of possibilities.
