Webster’s painting practice is concerned with the relationship between perceived and embodied space. Webster has spent the summer months at the British School at Rome, over a number of consecutive years, which has led to a substantial body of work, primarily the Walking in Rome series.

Her work explores the interplay between movement, light and colour and our spatial perception. The artist describes the work as: “Fleeting moments, the intangible yet overpoweringly visceral connection with a place, seen and experienced while travelling through it; a glimpse, something felt but not fully perceived; things which exist beyond the realm of photographic rendering or capture, fall onto the surface of the paintings.”

NOTE ON THE TV SERIES: quick sketches made by the artist whilst watching TV. In the same vein as described above, the artist attempts to capture fleeting impressions of movement, light and moments lived.
