Statement

Angela Edmonds had her first solo show of drawings at Moor Park Mansion in Hertfordshire in 1989.

Her earlier career was predominantly focussed on figurative mixed media drawing, mainly of urban and rural landscapes drawn on site.These were informed by many years of life drawing and tuition from artists such as Miles Richmond who worked alongside David Bomberg. For three years she was commissioned to work on site to create a series of drawings of The Harlequin Shopping Centre during its development. Her prizewinning drawings have been widely exhibited in many Public and Private Galleries including Camden Arts Centre and Gainsborough's House where her drawing gained First Prize in the biennial competition Drawings For All selected by Euan Uglow and Catherine Lampert. Her drawings have also gained First Prize in The Hertfordshire Open. 

A growing interest in object based sculptures led to these becoming the focus of her work together with photographic works which have been exhibited at many venues including Kettle's Yard, Essex University and The Shape Open. Edmonds's sculptures explore the unspoken, the discord in the everyday, particularly in issues relating to corporeality and health. Recent collections include The Wellcome Trust, London and The Martin Parr Collection, Tate Millbank. Her work is also in the collections of Watford Museum, Bushey Museum and Harrow School in addition to many Private Collections. Examples of her work can be seen in the WAL collection at Goldsmiths College. 

Angela Edmonds has written for Disability Arts Online and published a photo book of street photography titled 'Precinct'.
