In our March 2021 session, Louise Garman and Ivona Torovin will talk about their experience as artist pen pals in the Castlefield Gallery Associates/Europia artist exchange last year. Louise Garman creates experimental multi-media images, Post-apocalyptic dreams and nightmares…Sexually, societally, psychologically charged scenes in drawings, video, installation, silkscreen, photos and solar plate etching. Louise contrasts opposites such as ugliness and beauty, life and death, black and white, harsh and tender. Her art deals with abandoned and neglected secret places – the ageing Dungeness nuclear power station, the beautiful and brutal Saddleworth Moor, and the derelict side of Salford and Manchester.
