Feona Hadcroft
Lancashire born and based
Autobiographical – Multidisciplinary artist working with memories, found objects, print, performance and sculpture.
Fulfilling several artist residencies for Blackburn with Darwen Council: Most recent to-date being CROWD a large-scale painting (6×3 meter approx) situated opposite King Georges Hall. Installed for the 2021 Blackburn Bid. Resident artist for several, primary and secondary schools in the North-west of England.
Using WORDS and CROWDS to convey emotions and memories.
Working in a wide variety of mediums – film, print, paint, typewriter even knitting help confront her memories, differently.
Autobiographical artist: is this a label she wants? If accepted, will she be typecast like Negan of the Walking Dead?
All she knows, she explains quite simply ... She likes to gossip about herself, in a quest to heal and understand!
"I want to play a game, switch roles, let the viewer find the message, dig into their memories - awaken past joy or indeed skeletons."
