About
A spinal injury in 2018 meant that multimedia artist Tracey Falcon was no longer able to make the heavier, more sculptural artwork she had been creating for the previous 20 or so years. As lockdown hit, she found her creativity returning and picked up a paintbrush and oils and was hooked. Each painting is a technical journey. Tracey is interested in colour, texture, and light almost more than the subject. Still-life studies work well for this kind of exploration - the tones and textures of fruit and the play of light we are all familiar with on these items we may take for granted every day in our homes and gardens.

Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork
Two paintings, a lemon and a wren, play with texture and colour. Slightly undone, there's a hint of what lies beneath. What might be seen if photographed with too high or too low exposure. Vision is subjective.
