Dianne Setch

Penarth

For the last forty years I have made drawings, both two and three dimensional, using conventional and atypical materials. My concern has always been about the body and its absence. I use costume and clothing to represent this absence and its one-time powerful presence. For ten years, still concerned with the same subject matter, I have been drawing using image manipulation software.
