Brie Barnacle

I am an experimental printmaker who explores the medium of landscape as a metaphor for my lived experience of mothering, family and self-discovery. My fragmented images, allude to the contemplative and regulating nature of the outdoors as a terrain of connection and redemption, experienced whilst walking with my family. My inspiration comes from the fragility, complexity, and shifting nature of the landscape which mirror the landscape of parenting, where a sudden awareness of your own mortality goes together with a desire to foster and preserve memories. In this anthropic time, my work is made in urgency, documenting and attempting to preserve and protect memories of precious spaces and moments that are slowly disappearing.
