Learn more about the Poetics of Place artists and their work, and how the thematic of the exhibition – our responses to space and place – is reflected in their practices.
Imogen Welch’s practice is concerned with recycling, re-presentation and transformation, often with autobiographical elements. By incorporating techniques more commonly found in craft, such as collage, frottage, mosaic, casting, and upholstery, her practice also references 'women's work' and folk art.
Having first studied geology, Imogen Welch pursued a career in IT. She later returned to education, graduating with BA(Hons) in Fine Art from Buckinghamshire Chiltern University College in 2005. She studied at a postgraduate level in the artist-run The Other MA (TOMA) in Southend in 2018. Welch has exhibited widely in group shows across the UK.
