Harum Scarum by Siobain Drury

Siobain Drury MA, PGDIP is harum scarum

Fine Art

As an artist, her work has developed over the years from a love of collecting and combining. She has a strong sense of how to put things together – hence mixed media work is often her main focus. Within this, she collects original imagery, text and objects and combines them with drawing, print, textiles, photographs, paint and stitch. Drawing is fundamental to her practice and manifests itself in many forms, including print and drawing with a sewing machine.

The passing of time, journeys, the environment, mortality, the overlooked and nostalgia are themes that recur in her work. There are a number of different threads to her collage work. Some are concerned with commercially printed media: advertising or typography, particularly from the mid-twentieth century. Other work is inspired by personal experiences of travel, relationships, politics and society. Siobain likes to play with ideas as much as composition she is currently a Member of the Gloucestershire Printmaking Co-op.
