Artist Profile - Tracy Lewis

I've always been extremely interested in the passage of time; watching the seasons in all of nature, playing witness to birth, death and birth again.

Recently I've been working on Memory Boxes; collecting all the treasured bits that have been stored over the years - shells, old photographs, jewellery, dried flower heads, seeds and anything else which holds sentimental value.

Placing these treasured items together to create collaged boxes of past times is not only enjoyable but an interesting legacy for future generations to glimpse.

My favourite nature materials are roses. They are very attractive but possess a delicate strength.

I find manipulating them into new forms really exciting.
