Tracey Walker
Mixed media with photography
LOCATION:
Environmental impacts from our disposable culture dominate the themes in my work. I use photographic composites and painting to reveal both the beauty and the scars on the land.
A night-time installation of plastic bags with coloured led lights revealing a caustic but beautiful glow was the trigger for my recent mixed media works creating a narrative that is evoked from my preoccupation of the environmental impacts of our disposable culture.
I am always searching for discarded, broken remnants to photograph and to composite via digital imagery into my works. The Tairua Refuse Station is a favourite place (I am the local bag lady!).
Currently I display my works on my favourite aluminium substrate, overlaying digital composites. Through the use of opacity l give luminosity and light to the images.
