A BloomsburyJourney - London & Sussex

Lewes, England
Ceramic Wall Plaque. ‘Virginia Woolf’ - part of a triptych. VW suffered for most of her life with bipolar disorder, for which there was no effective treatment at the time. Eventually she took her life by drowning in the River Ouse
Ceramic Wall Piece.n this work I followed the footpath across the fields from Charleston farmhouse to Berwick Church; tracing the footsteps of Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant during the time (1940-42) that they walked each day to decorate the church with murals.
Ceramic, t shows both sides of the wall with the front and backs of the busts aligned.
Ceramic wall plaques
This work appropriates an image of a statue (by Quentin Bell) in the garden at Charleston to represent Virginia Woolf. VW suffered with mental illness most of her life - so the work has been broken and stitched back together... as a metaphor for what she was having to do each time she had a breakdown. The image is overlaid with a letter written to her lover Vita Sackville West.
