CAS ASSOCIATE ARTIST TAKEOVER: Tina Scahill

"Memories and Our Detritus" at The Chapel Gallery

Monday 19 - Sunday 25 May


Open to the Public:

11am - 4pm on Thursday 22, Friday 23, and Saturday 24 May 2025


Tina will be available to chat about the work on display and will also be holding a free artist talk on Saturday 24 May between 11am - 12pm. All welcome!


Tina’s work involves internal and external landscapes - memory, death and life are themes that she uses to make the viewer question themselves. 


The artwork is formed from a universal lexicon of found objects, which will be familiar to UK life and recreated into a message. Conversations for this show are about the detritus of our life, the historical documentation of a life and what happens to this material.


What do we do with it all?


How do we feel about memories connected to objects, and those objects related to people?


Tina recently held a hands-on community workshop with the residents of Andover, where participants made clay figures for a crowd installation especially for this Artists Takeover.


Tina Said “The creativity shown by the community took me in different areas of my assumed final product. I didn’t want to over control the making process - I had some example figures for inspiration - but the makers built items that pleased them, a favourite animal, an item or a person.”


Come along to The Chapel between Thursday 22 and Saturday 24 May between 11am and 4pm to enjoy Tina's artwork, learn about her practice, and view the community-made installation!

 

TINA SCAHILL


Tina is a Graphic Designer and artist, graduate of University of Winchester (1999 and 2022).

 

A multidisciplinary artist working in the digital domain and traditional forms of painting. Tina uses text, poetry and personal stories within paintings to weave a narrative, perhaps a memory or a feeling.

 

Themes of life and death, science and intervention have played through her work. Predominantly work is created using the 2D painted surface as a mirror between the audience and deeper understanding. Through the digital space Tina is interested in retelling a narrative, blurring the boundaries between paint and digital, to make art that speaks. The viewer can have a personal conversation with the piece of art by using their intimate computing tool (aka mobile phone) . Tina aims to develop work that pushes and pulls a conversation between narrative, audience and artist.

 

Collaborative working in recent projects Themes of Life (CAS 2020), and also Underearth.co.uk (CAS 2022). Tina also works as a visiting lecturer at University of Winchester. Her interests in teaching and mentoring others is part of her career development, along with a desire for studying a PhD.

 

Regional shows included Romsey, Stockbridge, Winchester and Andover Hampshire. Also as part of a touring show at the Pie Factory Margate (2022). Her work is held in many private collections since first exhibiting in 2018.

 

She is based in Andover, Hampshire.
