Josie BeszantI am a collector of stories, poems fragments of things.
This spills out into my art work, whether it is in painting, collage, assemblage or sculpture the work is always about things found that I am fascinated with. This could be a scrap of a photo, a discarded letter, a story told or a song. I am interested in the beauty of the damaged discarded and broken which is a constant theme running through my work. Since 1994 I have also run this gallery in the beautiful North Yorkshire town of Masham, (England) where I represent over 120 artists and craftspeople alongside my own work. It is a passion and pleasure. If you would like to see more of my work please go to my website HERE. |
