Once in a while, strange things happen on the world stage that seem to affect us all. But instead of debating whether we should agree or disagree with the majority, I feel drawn to reflect on how art and politics are connected—like siblings who might not get along yet remain bound by something fundamental. During my time at art school in the UK, we were in the thick of the Brexit whirlwind. It was nearly impossible to keep politics out of my art, because if art is a mirror to our world, whether it reflects the internal or the external, politics is part of that constellation.

I come from a small village in the far east of Germany, where I grew up in a house with my siblings, parents and grandparents. My childhood is embedded in the post-reunification period and many things there still seem a bit out of time. I was surrounded by forest, animals and especially older people with an agricultural background.

The figures I deal with in my work are the result of yet another patchwork. I usually mix “stolen” inspirational images from the internet and art history that inspire me such as lesbians of tiktok, movie screenshots, classical paintings, fashion editorial, stories of my friends etc. and pictures I take myself, which are usually self-portraits or portraits of my partner, our dog, my friends and family, my objects. So I always start from existing images that I hybrid together and repaint.

I don't like the idea of something coming in and out of my studio quickly, there is a temptation to produce too much ‘stuff’, and slowing down can help limit the amount that I’m putting into the world. I love the slowness of making which comes from working with lots of layers, slowly adding and removing to build form.

When drawing with charcoal you’re essentially making works out of powder, out of dust. I chose to work on raw canvas so that any minor mistake or fingerprint would be there forever, as I can’t erase or paint these things out. I think the nature of the medium gives them a delicate ghostly quality, as everything looks like it could be blown away on the next gust of wind.

Flashbacks: sitting in the south of France during the month of August, staring into the night sky, every night waiting for a shooting start to fall within my field of vision. It never happened until years later in Cuba, when I wasn’t even trying. Valerie's sculpture emits this sense of awaiting and determination, looking beyond what is here in this moment.

Miranda Forrester is a figurative painter from London.

Forrester’s practice explores the queer black female gaze in painting, relating to the history of men painting womxn naked. Forrester’s work is concerned with addressing the invisibility of women of colour in the history of art and combating the fetishization of these bodies.

As physical places are shut, people are locked into their homes and the online business world is booming. Zoom, Shopify, Instagram, Clubhouse have all adapted to engage, advertise and sell to their customers. Zoom parties, Clubhouse talks, Instagram Lives, this is about how social it has gotten in Covid times. I have thought about these tools for Studi0 and how they can or cannot be used in terms of engaging and replacing events in the art sector and here are my thoughts on it:

I think I connect the idea of home with the forest, nature and a sense of belonging together. I feel more comfortable in nature than in the city because I really enjoy observing everything in nature, even the smallest leaf. Everything in nature is so beautiful to me.
