Edwina Bracken is interested in the process and phenomenon of painting. Questions about phenomenological considerations have led Edwina to experiment with the boundaries of painting and its inherent objecthood. In recent work, she has created an expanded field through the inclusion of furniture. Her current line of enquiry involves the experimentation with other media including sound and sculpture to develop new routes into the production of multi-sensory and immersive installations.
