Looking Backwards, Gazing Forwards: A Survey of the Embroidered Photographs of Patricia Casey The art of Patricia Casey is primarily located within photography, however, since 2008, Casey has also used mixed media, predominantly embroidery and crochet to make works combining high end digital technology and old world craft skills. While this may seem to be a strange marriage of materials it sits well with Casey’s ongoing conceptual concerns and research into memory, imagination and dreaming. Her last three bodies of work Slippage in 2009, Scented Gardens for the Blind, 2010 and Elsewhere, 2012 and her forthcoming work, Little Secrets have seen a period of much experimentation with materials and photographic methodology. Looking Backwards, Gazing Forwards is a survey of her embroidered photographic works that gives a taste of what has been and a hint at what is to come.
Winner of the HeadOn Photographic Portrait Prize in 2006, Patricia Casey has been a practicing artist since 1999 and has exhibited in group and solo exhibitions during this time.
