Georgia Kitty Harris - Illustrator & Printmaker

03/21/19 • 28 min

Art & AI

Georgia Kitty Harris is a London-based printmaker and illustrator, who studied Fine Art at Kingston and did an MA in printmaking at the Royal College of Art.

Georgia's work currently uses animals as avatars to explore an interest in taxonomy. The ways in which people classify and group themselves is in a constant state of flux, and there's something she finds reassuring in the collective nouns and orders of animals. It's like an anthropomorphic representation of belonging.

While listening to the interview, please check out Kitty's artwork here as it puts it in better context.

Check out Wimbledon Art Studios here and remember to attend their next art fair in the fall!

Carolyn Tripp - Ceramicist

Carolyn graduated from Camberwell College of Arts with a BA(Hons) Ceramics in 1998. Since then, she has mixed making her own work with various teaching appointments. Carolyn currently teaches at and helps to run a social enterprise in North London working with adults recovering from and living with mental health illness.

Carolyn's current body of work takes inspiration from a small Chinese style bottle given to her in childhood. She enjoys the freedom of its maker to mix up pattern, creating vibrant and accidental surfaces and she applies this to her thrown porcelain vessels . Some are quire usable, others a visual treat. Using the traditional process of underglaze decoration, Carolyn hopes to create pieces to look at and to treasure.

Check out Wimbledon Art Studios here and Carolyn's work here , remember to attend their art fair during the fall!

Jane Bain - Painter & Printmaker

"One of the most challenging things about my art is choosing the fruit! Grocery shopping has never been quite the same since I began to search out the most engaging 'models' for my paintings and prints."

Jane is a London-based painter and printmaker with a fascination for light, nature and scale. Born in Chelsea, she studied art and design at Wimbledon School of Art and the London College of Printing and lived in Singapore and Hong Kong for a while, where she also studied Chinese calligraphy. Jane regards all her subjects as portraits, whether flora or fauna, exploring the character behind each model, be it the figure-like shape of pears that exude human qualities, the secret of an unopened lily, or the playful cheekiness of a bird.

For her most recent work, Jane has been experimenting with variable printing techniques. Using stencils, she paints directly onto silk screens, applying the paint in many layers to create depth and texture. The application of colour can be controlled to a certain extent, but the process is all the more intriguing because there is an element of randomness when the paint is drawn through the screen.

Why not have a look at her artwork over here while listening? It enriches the experience and provides context.
