Harriet Gifford

After many years of abstract painting and sculpture I have started making experimental or non-narrative film. I have also been engaged in the possibilities of showing work outside the traditional gallery space. During this years Whitstable Biennale and as part of the associated satellite project I curated an open-air, free, public screening of experimental films in Whitstable High Street. The project involved myself and one other artist and the films were screened onto the empty white façade of an old cinema building. The audience included, not only the invited but the wider public and Whitstable population out for a walk on that Saturday night. Aesthetically I am engaged in abstraction, light and colour and this interest crosses the boundaries of media. My work is an emotionally synaesthesic response to vision.
