Beschreibung:
In 'The Fence and The Shadow' Sally Payen takes us on a reflective journey of past experience, based on her exploration and research about the contested landscape of former RAF airbase Greenham Common (Newbury, Berkshire) and the women?s peace camps and anti-nuclear protests that took place there in the 1980s.0Payen is always experimenting with the process of painting and her imagery draws us into this real yet imaginary world of security fences and knitted symbols.0Evocative and arresting, the paintings disclose the sense of disquiet, insecurity and sacrifice experienced by the women, through the repetition of mark making and the colour palette the artist has carefully chosen. Viewed as part landscape, part portraiture they reveal the powerful unity between the protestors and the physical environment.00Exhibition: MAC Birmingham, UK (23.09.? 26.11.2017)
