Hope Atherton

 I'm really getting into this project the last couple of days....it's really exciting to spend the day creating, drawing , making, brainstorming etc. And researching of course! I've just joined tumbler and of course I've found plenty more artists to love! I plan to blog some of my own work this weekend, just to record all that I did this first week.

 I discovered the work of Hope Atherton in a library book 'Art Now Volume 3'. I was immediately drawn to her paintings, which I  find almost dream-like. Her work has been described as' infused with atmospheric substance and the melancholic sense of an eerie, other-wordly fantasy'. I don't think I could sum it up better myself! Her work, in my opinion, ties in quite well with my current concepts, as there is movement and a certain sense of an event just ending, almost as though the space depicted remembers it.With some there is even aspects dwelling on negative space.
