Brigitte Watkinson
Born and raised in Bavaria, Brigitte previously studied and taught languages before focussing on art. Her practice incorporates sculpture, collage, painting, installation art, animation and photography.
During the recent pandemic her practice grew to include a poignant scenography of her fluctuating mental state. Due to the now enforced rather than self imposed confinement to her home and studio she began to experience unfamiliar bi-polar like sentiments of despair and gloom, hope and cheerfulness, fear and endurance. Subsequent investigations, interpretations inspections of the inside versus the outside are documented in often surreal paintings and collages. Collated magazine images, old art work, current newsprint, paint, photography and found objects amalgamated and intra-acted, creating visions and telling stories of the complex dynamic and surreal interior landscape of my emotions.
