Wendy Welsford / Westsouthwesterly

Experimental mixedmedia collages/assemblages, repurposing flotsam and jetsam, rope and other beach finds, using felting, knitting, painting and pastel techniques.

As well as the beach art I like to make things related to the weather and have been using moulded paper, wire, linoprinting and monoprinting to do this.

In 2019 I made a piece called the Undyed Blanket. For more information on this look at my gallery. 

Recently I have been doing a lot of linoprinting. I started by doing a 10 x 10 cm self portrait for the Quay Arts " Breakout" exhibition last year. This gave me the idea of doing some portraits of my children which I have been doing in the second and third lockdowns. I have encorporated all of these in my entry for the biennial Open Exhibition at the Quay Arts this year in an installation called "Thinking Outside the box". I am humbled and proud to have been chosen to be part of this exhibition which is running until 29th of August. I have added this to my galleries.
