Salima Beal

As a practicing and studying artist Salima's work has shifting styles and is open to influence from many sources. In this collection she based her research around boundaries, restriction and chance. In contrast to this Salima explains that the "pieces turned out to have an expressively light and airy feel to them". In the exhibition Salima has translated some of her favourite ideas mainly into smaller scale textile and mixed media pieces, using various fabric bases and pastes to build up the surface along with different drawing and painting media.
