Faye Eleanor Woods
Faye Eleanor Woods is a Scottish artist currently working out of a tiny home studio in Glasgow. Her work acts as a love letter to her experience: the absurdity of it and the humour that often arises from her loss. Her recent works explore her journey in grief, it is dark, weepy and hilarious. Using Raw pigments and acrylic ink Woods forces the color into the grain of the canvas, blurring the edges with copious amounts of water or using thin layers of oils to slightly the blend the figures with the background.
Essentially my work is an inner catharsis for dealing with loss and fear. In my practice I try to bring attention to the surreal aspects of life and the way the oddness of experience manifests within individuals and how that manifestation affects me. In my vulnerability I crave strange moments of intimacy. I imagine drinking straight from the tap of all emotion, drinking so much of it, I take on too much and I’m sick and everything I spew out ends up in my work.
