Trina Stewart - Post Covid

Post Covid  2022

magazine clippings, watercolur, paper maché, goache, pen, ink

This work sis inspired by pretty images and what the universe gave me I’ve created a piece full of colour, life and optimism in a Post Covid world. I’ve used different images and reimagined what they might represent in order to convey a landscape. Asparagus becomes seagrass, and a lampshade becomes coral. A heart shaped leaf grows out of a mountain, birds take flight and boots float on a clam sea.

I like that the phase I used could read ‘I love’ or ‘I live’.

About Trina Stewart

I identify as: A scientist, A rationalist, Disabled, Lesbian/Queer, An Equality Advocate (gender, race, special needs/ challenges; sexuality and age), An Environmentalist, A Feminist.

Many of these identities would be considered a minority group and underpin many of the messages expressed in my art.

I do Art for reasons of expression and experimentation rather than striving for perfect execution. I very much enjoy working with mixed media, which allows me to embrace the scientist in me through experimenting with different mediums, varying techniques.

I create 3D textural works of art that can be viewed many times and reveal different details, whilst incorporating a meaningful message and an aspect of accuracy both educational or scientific.

I hope people can enjoy the journey of each piece and their own interpretations, as well as try to decipher my inspiration for each artwork.
