MARGARET PROUDFOOT

Profile
Having trained in both sculpture & printmaking Margaret has a strong affinity with, seemingly, fragile materials, particularly paper. Maps have become central to her work.

As well as investigating the selective nature of cartography, she explores the boundaries between 2 and 3 dimensions. Her dissections of city maps have a lace-like quality. The shadows thrown by strong lighting are integral, emphasising the delicacy of the object, as it floats in shallow space.

Work
Long established at Clockwork Studios, Margaret has taught at Camberwell and Winchester Art Colleges and at the University of Hertfordshire. She has work in various collections, including The Gibberd Sculpture Garden. She has also worked to commission for BT, Swarovski, Paintings in Hospitals, and has many private clients.

Exhibitions
Margaret Proudfoot has exhibited widely, with solo shows in London, Windsor and Kent.
