Beth Waite Embodying The Sensual Watercolour, Acrylic and Pencil on Paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Beth Waite (b. 1999, Darlington) is an artist living and working in Leeds, creating work which is rooted in her experience as a woman, linked to a larger shared experience of the feminine, its histories and its mysticism. Her work facilitates a connection between the physical and spiritual through feminist structures, ritual and performance, existing in neither complete reality nor fantasy, but the in-between; the home of the feminine soul.

Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork These postcard works explore the possibilities of feminist world-making, histories and utopias. The watercolour pieces are recreations of feminist rituals in a world where women are reconnecting to a lost feminine soul. The lino print adapts a Medieval wood cut as a feminist legend, blurring the lines between imagined and real histories.
