Biografia
Oona Grimes is a compulsive draw-er, scribbler and storyteller. Working with books and multiples, etching and mixed media, she embraces redundant print processes; recycling obsolete materials and last-of-stock. She has also collaborated with several writers, disrupting their text for badly behaved publications.
Grimes conjures narratives subverted by the mistranslation of myth, gossip and verse. Language is re-calibrated, signposts are written over; it is a universe of vile deeds and mysterious contracts. William Bligh, Fred West, John Dee and Carroll’s Alice rub shoulders in cocktail-shaken distillations of individual and collective memory.
