About "The Memory of Things Unknown"
England is a whole new world. Having moved from South Africa in mid 2016 i saught to engage with this new land. Coming from Brittish decent I found it entangled with the known and unknown, eerily familiar yet awkwardly foreign at the same time. By juxtaposing a painting by Edward Burne Jones with gravestones and finches in flight I have sought to crate a narrative arround my place in this country. My entitlement to be here and the history of a land, my land of which I have so little connection.

About Victoria
Having painted under the name of Vicky Riley for the past 7 years she has elected to revert to her maiden name of Stiff.
Victoria is inspired by the world around her, and does diverse works depending on what has made her heart sing or cry at that moment. Emotion and contemplation of life, is often the catalyst for her work. She observes, thinks, and converts her opinion and observations into artworks. Art for her is the expression of the soul, which comes in many forms.
All her work is done with precision. She is tireless in her quest for perfection. She is currently working mixed media, oil on various paper supports, maps, books, patterns. Found objects, that are a commentary on life, as we as humans have molded it. Her work endeavors to instill in the viewer a desire to engage with, question and understand the work. The use of everyday objects is intentional to allow the viewer to relate to the work. Vicky also finds expression in sculpture, which creeps into her portfolio in various forms. Most prominently at the moment as Ceramic frames, custom made for the work they house. She is constantly influenced by contemporary South African artists. The work of Caryn Scrymgeour has had a great influence on her, and was the springboard for her current portfolio of work.
