Woodward is a part of a movement of free thinkers who are change agents for The State.
Her work communicates with a language of the virtual and the real, the programmed and intuitive. Her concern lies with what we find ourselves seduced by and what we resist or conceal. The identifiable is played with both on and off a surface, using the canvas and props in which signs slide across the surface and behind edges. Left behind are gaps or holes where the creation of an interior can be entered.
Visually and physically the work is liable to move and slip. Elements reorder and reappear and are duplicated, enlarged or inverted. Parts briefly collect and then disperse making connections across and within works.
She was most recently shortlisted for 4 NEW SENSATIONS: A CHANNEL 4 PRIZE FOR SAATCHI ONLINE 2009 UK GRADUATES and exhibited in the exhibition Bold Tendencies III which has received rave reviews from the likes of The Guardian, Art In America International Review and Time Out as well as many others.
