Statement About AOAP Submitted Artwork
Working in a tradition of an English landscape painter and printmaker, Tierney’s work explores objects and places where form is linked to emotion and metaphor. The expressive images have a contemporary edge marked by energetic use of colour and line. They spring from sketches and drawings made en plein air and are developed using painting and printmaking back at her studio on the south coast of the Isle of Wight where the moon reflected in the English Channel provides inspiration.
In ancient Greek mythology and religion, Selene is the goddess and personification of the Moon. She was reputed to drive her horse drawn chariot across the night sky, as her brother Helios the day. The moon’s long association with female power, and links with the female cycle led these artworks to be selected specially for International Women’s Day.
