Rituals

This piece is made by layering painted papers to the cradled wood panel.

I was thinking how I missed the repetitive nature of textile printing and how I could re-create the feeling with my painting work. This quickly spiraled into thoughts of how humans (and all life) create rituals both intentionally and also simply by being creatures of habit. Anyway this piece of writing is rather unnecessary as you need only look at the the title and imagery to work this one out for yourself.

P.S As I find repetition rather meditative please fell free to commission a similar piece! ;)

My name is Bianca Harrington and I’m a multi-disciplinary maker and artist

My creative breadth spans painting, textile printing, collage, sewing, and accessory design.

I moved to London in my 20’s, where I studied and worked in textiles, prior to painting.

Now merging scissors with paintbrush, I work mostly in mixed media collage.

My immediate surroundings will be absorbed (quilts, documentaries, conversations, gardening etc.) turning them into background motifs, marks and symbols in my work.

Recurring themes in my work portray simplified tablescapes and botanicals with threads of folk symbolism and celestial impressions.
Small marks and imperfect shapes, aesthetic gestures of the lived experience.
My lifetime of dedication to creative disciplines contribute to the narrative of my work, producing my own distinctive and ever-experimental articulation of contemporary art and design.
