Caryl’s current focus is time lapse video, photography and printmaking.
time: the indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present and future regarded as a whole (Oxford Dictionary)
For many years, she has documented her experiences in the landscape, which have evolved into a visual diary, a journal, which records and reflects everyday journeys. Travelling pathways often familiar and occasionally unknown, her work acknowledges an appreciation and acceptance of the transient nature of our world and its simple integrity, with a beauty that lies in imperfection and impermanence.
Caryl graduated from University of Hertfordshire in 2009 attaining an MA in Fine and Applied Art. Awarded best video prize from Elstree Heritage in 2012 at Eastern Approaches Open Exhibition. She is a former fellow of Digswell Arts.
Caryl’s Studio is located at Dicker Mill Hertford where the studio is open to visitors during HVA Open Studios in September.
