Kit Forrest
Recreates stories from the past, intertwining her own personal experiences. Fascinated by stories that are uncomfortable, ingrained beneath the surface, wound tightly into our subconscious yet affecting our day to day lives, she carefully unpicks them, processing as she makes. Utilising found imagery and material steeped in tradition she gradually allows the subconscious to communicate visually.
In this exhibition Kit was inspired by Woolf’s novel To the Lighthouse , which is overtly about a family’s holidays but in reality revisits Woolf’s own childhood memories. Kit’s work was inspired by natural motif’s used by Woolf in the book along with the ’ordinary’ psychologies that challenge most families.
