Sally Brookes

I am a practicing artist and teacher who graduated from Manchester Metropolitan University in 1994. My work has evolved from textiles and embroidery responses to multi-media art incorporating collage, texture, surface manipulation and light. My subject matter ranges from natural fruit forms, rooftop views and landscapes to abstract self interpretation.
My influences are centred around the arts and crafts movement and I take particular inspiration from such artists as Gustav Klimt, C.R.Mackintosh, Egon Schiele and later the Bloomsbury artists and the Bauhaus designers.
My use of these influences is loose and involves the play of pattern, asymmetry, light and composition with the use of plaster, glue, gold leaf and iridescent materials to create reflective surfaces.
