Bryony Graham's practice is driven by the visual and intellectual metaphor of seepage. Through study of how and why experience shapes individuals, her work plays with the idea of the constructed self, conflicting and combining with the idea of identity flux and subject in process.

Work begins with gathered and collected raw ingredients (physical and mental) for experimental making. Bryony's materials come from two distinct areas, the world of construction and the world of the domestic; the County Highways Depot, with bitumen and gritting salt and the strange world of the Charity Shop and the collector's trinket. By combining these materials the artist can make new collections of curious objects and works. A collection built from (and upon) collections: layers of experiences.

The idea of seepage is now beyond of the realm of the individual and into the societal. This shift allows many more conceptual links and levels of significance within works and a wealth of future areas of research, reflection and making.
