When the Wood Whistles
Woodland can be seen as a metaphor for psychic space. It can provide a refuge from, or a route into danger. The diffused and dappled light makes us see things that may not be there and by projecting our hopes and fears into the gloom, we create stories which mirror our state of our mind.
Inspired by memory, dreams and childhood, Caroline’s work explores the unconscious and notions of the uncanny. She uses devices such as active imagination, dream logic and pareidolia, to delve into the weird spaces and infinite world of the psyche. She is interested in the seductive qualities of the strange, and by treading a line between beauty and the sinister, she creates work that is both attractive and unnerving at the same time.
Caroline graduated in 1997 with a degree in Fine Art from the University of the West of England and is based at BV studios in Bristol.
