Artist Statement:
Michelle Munn graduated in
2004 with a BA (Hons) Fine
Art. She is currently based in
Birmingham UK working as a
freelance Fine artist.
Her practice has developed
from photography and
printmaking giving her a
highly decorative and unique
style.
Michelle�s practice is
centred around the idea of the
uncanny and the fading of
memories. She collects old
discarded photographs,
wallpaper and fabric samples
from 1880�s � 1950�s and
then replicates these in a
combination of differing
mediums which over time will
deteriorate and rust, due to
the natural moisture in the
air.
In essence Michelle�s
paintings are going through
the natural process of life
and death and shall one day
cease to be nothing more than
a diminishing memory
themselves.
