Terry’s work is generally concerned with found objects, stories, myths, and forgotten histories, often using non-traditional or recycled materials as they offer the chance to work freely and experimentally. Since the loss of her mother three years ago, she has been taking inspiration from objects found in her family home, which has housed five generations. Among these is a collection of books from the 1960s, which she has been carving into to represent the house as she remembers it as a child.
Terry is a multidisciplinary artist who works primarily across painting, collage, sculpture and printmaking. Having previously worked as a journalist and editor on a wide range of magazines and publications, she now concentrates on her studio practice in south-east London.
