Grace’s work focuses on memory, perception and altered realities.  It aims to reflect the unstable and uncanny ambiguity of memory, centering around memories as unreliable relics that can never be experienced again. Grace uses imagery gathered from her childhood, exploring the past through the lens and understanding of the present. She focuses mainly on portraiture, manipulating the faces and visibility of personal figures in her life. Her main body of work includes a series of etchings where these elusive faces become entombed in the material of the plates and reborn through the layers of the print itself, where each print is completely unique to the other, creating an altered state of the same “memory”.  She uses the idea of a “peephole” to investigate how perception can be curated and controlled. She does this by using circles as repeated iconography and the layering of colours to create concealment, controlling the viewers understanding and experience of the piece.
