Turner Duffin’s practise is rooted in drawing and painting but incorporates craft, installation, textiles and print-making techniques, interested in creating a cyclical life-span for her paintings, each stage or ‘life’ resulting from ritualistic processes. Her paintings however, evoke not only their own crafting, but also a wide range of landscape associations, often made in response to the idea of her surrounding landscape, the feeling of passing through it, the meditative, devotional and almost transcendent dialogue that this creates as well as using reoccurring themes of the anthropomorphic power of plants and rocks to convey everyday life experiences or folkloric tales.
