Method of Working
Brie is an experimental printmaker whose intuitive process embraces chance and material dialogue. Her work begins with walks in the landscape, where imagery sparks ideas for prints. Driven by a desire to preserve memories with her children and the fragile natural world, Brie explores themes of care, sustainability, and transformation. She often repurposes prints and plates through innovative techniques, including plasma cutting and welding, creating new works that explore the parallels between motherhood and nature.
Artist’s Statement
My work explores the landscape as a metaphor for the shifting, fragile, and complex nature of parenting and self-discovery. I am interested in how the outdoors can be a space for contemplation, connection, and redemption. In this anthropic time, I feel an urgency to document and preserve memories of precious spaces and moments that are slowly.
