Shelly Tregoning’s practice explores questions of identity, in particular the subliminal expression of self through physicality and gesture. Drawing, painting and printmaking are central to her work, in which the human figure and its nuances of form present questions around the human condition. Prompted by interactions with friends and family, as well as her own photographs and imagery from newspapers, magazines and films, Shelly explores drawn, painted and pressed interpretations of the human figure, exploring subtleties of meaning through both linear and painterly languages of expression.

Her recent engagement with the medium of film further explores ideas of connectedness and our place in the universe, through a series of travel led projects that bear witness to our sensory experience of the world.
