Sacra Loca by Carole Slinn

About The Artist

CAROLE SLINN

My work is concerned with introspection and identity – what makes a person who they are.

These multi-media pieces represent the timelines of individuals. They incorporate  fragments and images from ancestral research, personal experiences and events such as the current pandemic and are realized through many layers of  mixed media. They are worked, reworked and excavated and the surfaces aged and eroded to simulate the passing of time.

Training as a fashion designer led to an early career in lecturing, teaching and fashion illustration for local newspapers. After further experience, including family life and business, I gained first class honours in fine art from Leeds University. This enabled me to produce work which has received awards in public galleries and open exhibitions including  Sindelfingen’s Oberlichtsaa Gallery, Germany.
