The origins of Angelika Howard’s art lie in the expressive, therapeutic and healing properties of her artistic endeavour and come from her training as teacher and integrative arts psychotherapist. Here her interests are the inner experience and the creative process expressed through writing, poetry, painting, clay work, sand play, music and drama.
Studying for a BA in Fine Art at Brighton University, her inquiry into eco-feminism, the cyclical in nature, the histories and wisdoms of first-generation peoples as well as the archetypal collective unconscious came to the foreground.
Her process led artwork is currently made from recycled, organic, natural and non-toxic materials, sourced mainly from her garden, by controlling and transforming them in a painterly way using so-called ‘feminine skills’ such as gardening, stitching, dyeing, weaving, knitting, sewing and sketching and painting with water-based paints.
Her practice allows her to explore the boundaries between nature and culture, fine art and craft, inner world and material world.
Angelika Howard is interested in the cyclical rhythms of life. Her research and context of her work reflects her interest in the human condition, the role of women in society and art, the histories, wisdoms and thinking of ancient cultures and their importance for today’s world. She tries to find answers and explanations for the fact that we live in an unstable world still riddled by a dominant patriarchy, oppression, exploitation and inequalities.
Angelika Howard’s work archives and manifests, in image and object, time and memory through the ages and seasons and cycles of life on earth.
