Contributors: Rebecca Davies
Rebecca Davies is an artist living and working in London. Her work has always been intrinsically linked to the materials and processes she uses to communicate her ideas. The material itself becomes an active component and a vital constraint upon the process of making her ideas tangible. The process in its own right is a way of controlling her working method, which has stemmed from her background in Printmaking. The materials and chemicals used cannot be completely controlled or predicted thus causing a ‘tug of war’ between her and them, the result being a piece of work which is an organic collaboration.
This fight for control with the material itself has grown from print on paper to printing onto aluminium cladding to making large scales works printed onto and shown on glass within a specific architectural context. She is currently investigating the ‘flexibility’ (both practically and conceptually) of a notoriously brittle building material – concrete. She is testing how it can be used as a material to print onto and as a result change its visual capabilities.
Rebecca is also a Senior Lecturer at Kingston University working in Graphic Design, Illustration and Foundation.
