STATEMENT
Caroline is an Oxford & London based printmaker.
Caroline draws on objects, places and stories from antiquity and art history found in London and Oxford museums. She selects often familiar objects and images from these collections deconstructing and reconstructing them in novel ways. For her this a way of dealing with her personal past and the anxieties of our moment in history. Bringing together different generations of print technology, she uses marbling, glitches, and folds in her work to take advantage of chance marks and disruptive patterning. In technology, the glitch is an error which reveals the fallibility of a system. The digital glitch and folding in Caroline’s work creates a fragmented patterning lending surfaces a resistance to easy translation, inviting multiple readings. The error, glitch and fold create new boundaries, where the usual distinctions between inside and outside blur and intertwine, evading categorisation. Such new ways of seeing history may be able to resist and regenerate meaning from within.
