Cicely uses ink and sustainably sourced papers to create intricate visual narratives. Recently her work has been shown at the Royal Scottish Academy, she is based in Surrey.

Working meticulously, Cicely’s storytelling requires precision and patience, resulting in pieces that demand time for thorough exploration. They are not only visual landscapes; they are also intricate tales. The observer is invited to embark on a journey, discovering nuances and information woven into the fabric of each piece. The deliberate complexity serves a purpose – to slow down the viewer and encourage contemplation of both the entirety and minutiae of what lies before them.

Cicely’s focus extends beyond the paper, documenting connections between people, memories, humanity, and the ecosystem we inhabit. Her work is a testament to interconnectedness, inviting reflection on individual stories, bodies and the broader tapestry of existence.

With a focus on the human form, Cicely’s landscapes delve into the fundamental and visceral nature of physicality. Her landscapes and rocks become more than just scenery; bodies are made of the land and shape it in return. The hills transform into living, breathing entities.

Cicely sees the fundamental, structural nature of drawing as a powerful means to offer narratives. Her pieces are a basis for imagination, with the viewer becoming an integral part of the artwork.Through her creations, Cicely sparks a dialogue between the subject, the process, and the observer, inviting them to explore the realms of their own imagination.

In the intricate details and deliberate storytelling of Cicely’s art, we find an invitation to pause, ponder, and discover the beauty that lies in the connections between us and foster respect for the world we shape.
