Stacked glasses

'Stacked glasses' is made up of acrylic painted paper cuts.
Although this process is long and rather fiddly compared with painting directly on the canvas, I love the freedom of being able to move my compositions around. It also creates a wonderful surface dimension and texture.
This is another piece where I'm working to create a sense of space despite the small wood panel size! Employing glasses as my subject for the translucency and sense of space is a common theme in my work.
It's small size makes it perfect for sitting upon a shelf or small space.

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.
