Working out of a resurrected wagon house on a 6 acre holding overlooking the Camel Estuary in North Cornwall, Elizabeth-Jane Grose is an artist embedded in her surroundings.
Her work is a record of a small patch of rural life and a reflection of her interest in nature, sustainability, rural industries and landscape.
Examples range from vertiginous large-scale landscapes woven out of twenty years of walking the Cornish Coast Path; plants the artist grows and forages to create dye stuff for wool work; wool from her small fibre flock of native and rare breed sheep and a deep love for all of these things to detailed botanical watercolours examining in (sometimes microscopic) detail those same plants.
Grose is fascinated by processes and how things work - the way things are made or drawn - and applies this to the natural world that she inhabits. There is a deep sense of a desire to understand materials and ways of making, an appreciation of millennia of humans, plants and animals living together and an eye for beauty in what she makes.
