ANNIE RIDD

2005 BA Hons Fine Art, Surrey Institute of Art & Design

The content and form of my work has varied throughout my course, but a continuing strand has been identity. My practise has been exploring motherhood, childhood, anxiety, fear and the vulnerability of life.
I have worked primarily with clothing and belongings of those absent, hair, insects and, more recently, bees. I found the subject of bees in the context of my work enthralling. In contrast to using insects to relate to notions of fear, phobias and revulsion, I used honeybees to invoke images of sweetness, virtue and productivity.
