QUALIFICATIONS

MA Fine Art, St Martins School of Art, London
BA Fine Art, St Martins School of Art, London

ARTISTS STATEMENT

Elaine Tribley explores and utilises her immediate environments, producing work with suggestions of belonging and nostalgia, often with a sense of irony.  She is interested in rural and urban landscapes, histories of place, artifice and the chance encounter. Her work spans photography, drawing, sculpture and installation drawing references from conceptual art, typography and graphic design.

"I'm interested in creating new experiences for new audiences, opening up discussions, sharing culture and histories and bringing people together. Exploring and researching is a key part of my practice and within the work itself issues of display are prominent."  



Elaine is based in Chelmsford and predominately works in Essex and London on project based work, residencies, regeneration programmes, gallery workshops, educational projects, public art commissions and mentoring schemes. She also works as a curator and designer with clients including arts organisations, local councils, British Broadcasting Corporation and Essex County Council.
