Scarlett Rebecca
Artist and educator
My work is a reflective and introspective approach to making, a meditation on themes of the afterlife and inaccessible worlds. My drawings, often of underwater life, are an attempt to connect with an inaccessible natural world by documenting it without existing in it. I am interested in the way we attempt to experience and understand the inaccessible unknown, and the parallels that can be drawn between this and an idea of an afterlife. My artistic practice is deeply rooted in the practice of drawing, always returning to portraiture, the drawing is then taken through lithography and relief print processes.
I work from my printmaking studio in New England House, in Brighton where I also teach courses in lithography. When I am not there or working as the technical demonstrator for lithography at Brighton University, I can be found drawing at Draw life drawing sessions or the Brighton Sealife Centre.
