Tracey Walker

Environmental impacts from our disposable culture dominate the themes in my work. I use photographic composites and paint to reveal both the beauty and the scars on the land.

A night-time installation of plastic bags with coloured led lights revealing a caustic but beautiful glow was the trigger for my mixed media works. They create a narrative that is evoked from my preoccupation with the environmental impacts of our disposable culture.

I have continued with the inclusion of animals in some works. The birds are a metaphor for the earth, looking on with increasingly anxious attachment.
