Melodie Cook PS
Artist and Image Maker
London, United Kingdom“The human being is at the core of my work.The face, the hands, the incredible beauty of the human body.The expression, the demeanour, and what hides behind that or is expressed through that.
My background in fashion is evident in my continuing interest in costume and adornment and how it can be used to denote or deny a presence.
I am very passionate about drawing as well as painting and sculpture, but in 2012 I decided to focus entirely on drawing and began
using pastels for the first time.”
