Artist got inspired by trauma suffered as a
young person, her work is a self-portrait viewed through the lens of traumatic
memory and is part of the process of moving forward with her life.
Louise Borgeois, Tracey Emin and
Francis Bacon all influenced the works, which were Rebecca's first foray into
using digital applications to create art. Having previously worked in only
acrylic, Rebecca digitally enhanced the pictures so that she was blended into
the acrylic paint. The results are compositions which push the boundaries of
digital and analogue, experiments in space.
Artist’s idea to put herself into
the painting was from when she felt there is an invisible boundary between the
world (society) and personal space where you can be totally yourself. Also
denial of reality brought her to the idea of artist herself becoming as part of
the painting.
