Browne undertook an expansion of her artistic journey following an impetuous move from Dublin, to a rural idyll outside Cashel, Co Tipperary. The transition from an urban life, had a profound effect on the Artist, with the environs of the cottage in which she resides, having directly influenced her practice. The freedom to access and engage with abandoned history and heritage spanning centuries, was all possible within walking distance of her new home. Brownes work often uses repurposed surfaces, her practice employs traditional methods of oil painting, in conjunction with mixed media and sculptural elements. Tools and surfaces vary. The physical approach to making is rudimentary, using nails and sharp implements to etch or gouge. Sanding, tearing and shifting of pigment is used to alter a surface or imply damage and trauma. Works Include ash, coal, dust and other matter, recognising the continual degradation of surface materiality and the beauty of its irregularity. Entropy, although challenged, pervades. The surrounding countryside, and what it has offered up, has become a vital component in the Artist’s work as she endeavours to understand the land and her place within it.
