Artist's Statement
In her work Diana Webster is exploring a representation of identity by mapping
the invisible contents of home. The invisible contents of home are the intangible
qualities that evoke emotions. Using images from her childhood home, the wallpaper,
air-vents, walls etc she creates images of textured space that relate to the
atmospheric conditions of that room. Influences include: Rachel Whiteread,
Antonio Tapies, Bachelard’s The poetics of Space and Beatriz Colomina: The
Split Wall: Domestic Voyeurism
