Tania Skeaping's work is about shared spaces. She grew up in rural England and was aware of sharing the land with other species of flora and fauna.
As a young adult, after a decade living in cities, she returned to rural living and saw anew the spaces and the things she had taken for granted as a child. She is inquisitive about this relationship between the domestic, the tame and the wild, and about how other artists and craftspeople have described it in their work. This relationship exemplifies the biggest question of our time; how we share with other humans and other flora and fauna the resources of our planet. By placing the non-human in an unexpected position within a composition her intention is to flip the old adage ‘out of sight, out of mind’. To extend that feeling of the unexpected she uses colour and marks to create a sense of the uncanny or strange.
