Liz Toole
In her recent work Liz Toole has been creating imaginary scenes filled with the patterns of nature inspired by both the Sussex countryside and the diversity of life she found whilst travelling in Africa. She is interested in looking at details of trees and plants, Indian textiles and bird encyclopaedias, and merging these sources to create, wall-paper like patterns that celebrate the English decorative tradition.
Her latest prints have been hand-made in small editions, in Brighton and Hastings, using the techniques of lino-cutting and screen-printing. The use of coloured French and Indian hand-made papers has also become increasingly important to her
Within her work as a whole, Liz uses nature as a metaphor for human emotions.
Liz is based at Phoenix studios, Brighton.
