Description
Moth Baby is a collection of poems and images created to work alongside, inform, give clues to Dionne’s mixed media artwork. The artwork and subsequent poems explore the feelings of loss, growing dissatisfaction and lack of confidence that develops when confronted by a happening or happenings that confuse and contradict the all encompassing guidance, direction and way of living espoused by the family and Catholic faith.

About the artist
Dionne Hood
West Yorkshire, United KingdomDionne Hood
West Yorkshire, United KingdomMy practice combines painting and mixed-media relief, bringing together acrylic paint, embroidery, paper, watercolour, ink and found objects. Each work is accompanied by a poem that responds to the physical piece, extending its themes through language. The poems are not explanations, but parallel works—another space in which meaning, ambiguity and feeling can unfold.
For almost twenty years I worked primarily with ceramics, using hand-building, slip casting and surface treatments to explore unspoken narratives and personal responses to lived experience. In recent years my practice has shifted away from clay towards a more experimental, material-led approach. Painting combined with stitch, collage, text and objects offers a more immediate way of working and a broader visual vocabulary.
Thread functions as line, movement and action; words act as objects with their own physical presence; found materials are re-contextualised to carry new meanings. These materials allow me to explore contrasts of softness and hardness, depth, reflection and temperature, and to assemble fragments into a patchwork of partial revelations rather than a fixed narrative.
My work is rooted in personal experience and intuition. I am always looking to go somewhere unexpected.
I live in Oakworth, West Yorkshire and work for a Library Service.
