Dizzy Pragnell

Dizzy Pragnell’s work is a curious interpretation of seemingly everyday ingredients, encouraging the viewer to look with fresh eyes at the familiar.  Her vegetable and fruit papyrus explores the role played by the ingredients, as symbols of reproductive nature, which give man foods essential for survival.
 
The vegetable papyrus is made using similar techniques to the ancient Egyptians.  A fusion of overlapping finely sliced fruit or vegetable fibres laminate to form a textural surface.  Each delicate sheet becomes an arrangement of colour and tone, retaining the essence of its origins without sacrificing the essential reality of the natural form.   These tactile sheets are an ideal material from which to create a variety of different works such as book art, sculpture and framed works.
 
Dizzy Pragnell has exhibited internationally and throughout the United Kingdom, including at the Royal Academy. Her work is also included in a number of museum collections.
