TARA
FORD
What you see on the paper is pure stream of consciousness. The creative
process is completely automatic. The resulting drawings and paintings
are an extreme form of doodling, reflecting mood, thought and emotion
of the artist.
RECENT BIOGRAPHY
2004 Solo
Exhibition: “Doodle. Drawings from the Subconscious”
The artist has kept visual diaries over the years. Pages from these
diaries, large-scale acrylic paintings and mixed media collages made up
the show. An audio piece was designed to accompany the visuals
featuring crowd noise of people at a gallery mixed with sounds from the
artist’s memory.
The show was presented in London at the Nottinghill venue of Australian
art consultant Georgie Hooper.
Rotating Exhibition: Aku,
Soho London
Each month date marked pages from the visual diaries were displayed
over a 12 month period creating a timeline of work.
Filmed Art Event, London
Sony commissioned 6 artists to each create a piece of work over a 3 day
