Marcia Gillespie

Picture

I have been painting, printing and artist bookmaking for the last 15 years after an earlier career working with computers.


I grew up in a suburb of New York City - a place which always excited me. I finally went to live there for four months on an exchange from Winchester School of Art


My work has been driven by a sense of place and how it is inhabited, both in the present and in the past (with an occasional detour into the world of cats)

Statement 
I am a painter, printmaker and artist book maker. My work is concerned with connections established through the use of shared space. This interest arose during my experience on a four month exchange in New York - very different from my home in a rural Hampshire village. It was fascinating to see people and our lives separate but connected, as we shared urban spaces. I was particularly interested in how the architecture - of the underground and of city cafes - both united and separated us. This interest continues, and I make regular trips to New York where I am always inspired . It helps to have a niece who lives and works in Manhattan. 
My ideas have developed into a consideration of the connection through time established by shared spaces. The architecture becomes important as a frame of the connection and sharing of space, as well as a record of the past. These thoughts have been develped in a series of works based on Sicily and Egypt. I further developed some of these thoughts in responding to a library environment, where space, purpose, and objects can be seen to be shared - and where text and words are a frame for connection.
