Teresa Lawrence
These pieces represent an evolution of my career as an artist. Every bead is a unique work of paper: decorated with line, pattern or paint, then cut, hand-rolled and sealed. With care, they will be long-lasting and over time, will develop a rich patina.
Originally trained in textiles, I have at various times been an illustrator, writer, painter, printmaker, textile designer, and sculptor over many decades of artistic practice.
One of the enduring themes in my work is pattern. I can spend hours absorbed in the rhythmic work of repetitious mark-making and experience the process as a creative meditation.
While my art practice changes, working with paper is an ongoing theme, as I love the feel and flexibility of the medium. As well as transforming paper into sculpture or jewellery, I am currently working on writing and illustrating my latest book.
