Alison Griffin's current work reflects a lifelong love of nature and environment that began in her childhood home of Norfolk, growing up on the very edges of a small town where the fields, trees and country lanes became her playground. Her practice is mainly focused around drawing, working in pencil to create intimate contemplations of every day landscapes that are intricate, atmospheric and sometimes dramatic; the pencil medium captures the spectacle of light and shadow whilst imbuing the images with a subtle tension - her work looks to capture and highlight the beauty and fragility of the natural world and our relationship to it, especially where humans and nature try to coexist in the same fraught landscape.
