An exhibition showing how the artist has investigated the concept of 'home'

About

Verity is a multi-disciplinary artist based in Norwich, with a focus on painting, mixed media work on paper and sculpture. Her practice reflects three broad themes: the function/non-function of objects, fading memories of journeys through places and spaces, and the transience of our personal habitats/environments. 

She originally trained as a sculptor, and loves the physicality, context and provenance of materials. Employing materials to achieve balance, whilst conveying tension and energy – a dialogue between fragility and strength - is something she strives for. She leans towards historic and contemporary architectural forms, shapes, structures and silhouettes, often dismantling these to create evocative negative spaces.

The body of work she has created and collated for Anteros sits alongside a series of deconstructed and reconstructed architectural compositions she made during lockdown. Here, an investigation into the concept of ‘home’, fractured families and communities is represented through re-imagining both exquisite and unremarkable domestic, religious and utilitarian buildings in the streets of her surrounding neighbourhood, viewed from the outside and through the windows of her house. The abstract pieces in this exhibition reflect the domestic objects, emotions and stories of the people inhabiting these buildings, both imagined and experienced, by herself and those around her.
