✨ BREAKOUTS Spotlight ✨
Edinburgh based, Dorset born artist Flossie Haskins is our final featured artist from this year’s exhibition. Her practice centres on illustration, working primarily with ink on paper. Flossie draws inspiration from fashion runways and the pages of Vogue, capturing the elegance, character, and theatricality of contemporary fashion.
“My art practice combines my love for fashion illustration and the magazine with the experience of growing up amongst women, as well as my writing about the city of Florence. I explore the connection and similarities between the idealised pedestaled sculptures in Florence and the often contrived editorial fashion shoots. I work as an illustrator and printmaker on paper, which gives the work a sense of transience and looseness. Having studied the movement of the human body, I subsequently try to convey that movement with ink on paper, working quickly and deliberately. I am concerned with the use of colour, allowing each palette to tell a different story in each work”.
Thank you to everyone who supported this year’s artists and made BREAKOUTS such a success! Now to see what happens next
