Dr Barbara Howey is an artist who currently works and lives in Norwich England. She is course leader for the MA in Art, Design and Education and Coordinator of the MA programmes at Norwich School of Art and Design. She completed a practice based PhD in 2001 at Norwich School of Art and Design. The title of the thesis was Self/Painting Practice/Social Practice. She studied for an MA in the Social History of Art at Leeds University in 1992 and a BA (Hons) in Painting at Leicester Polytechnic in 1991. She exhibits her work regularly both nationally and internationally and has had her work published in journals and catalogues. In a catalogue entry for her recent exhibition Techniques of Memory (2005) at Huddersfield Art Gallery Pen Dalton wrote of her work: “Howey clothes memory with resonant forms and substance. Here is the grey matter of melancholy; plots are re-worked to render painful events of the past available to revision, to produce perhaps, happier endings. The processes that re-iterate remembering itself, in narratives suggestive of the monochrome pleasures of the Toile de Jouey print, Howey slowly activates hidden layers of material. Through the formal devices of weaving, and the textured scraffito of painting she both re-covers and re-works the past.” |
