About Mary Dalton
I see print as a beautiful amalgamation between human expression and human learning. My work takes pleasure in exploring the potentials, fun and mishaps that occur in this concoction of an art-form.
I examine the questions and experiences I have within society, within my family and within my darkest minds – a reflection of what I suppose we call the human condition. I see myself as a teller of these personal stories, but also the stories of those I meet on the journey. The stimuli take form in numerous ways – predominately print led, but also much textile work and object creation.
