Oona Grimes
Oona Grimes is a compulsive draw-er, scribbler and storyteller. Working with books and multiples, etching and mixed media, she embraces redundant print processes; salvaging and recycling last of stock, discarded and obsolete materials.
Narratives gleaned from such diverse lives as William Bligh, Mary Bell, John Dee and Fred West are mapped and served up as cocktail-shaken distillations of individual and collective memory. Recent plunderings include a fictitious correspondence between Edith Sitwell & Bob Cobbing : ‘Edith Mixes Concrete’ & responses to Swedenborg’s dream & spiritual diaries : ‘mashed swede’.
She has previously collaborated with writers & poets, most recently Iain Sinclair, Leslie Forbes & Fabian Peake.
