Valerie Pugh is a visual artist exploring relationships between memory, reflection, and imagination through painting, collage, and sculpture. Form and space are translated into graphic iconography, distilled into colour and shape and further reconstructed into dimensional forms. 

Inspired by Gaston Bachelard’s book, The Poetics of Space, Penguin Classics, 1958, Artworks are organized around the metaphor of Home, where “[T]he room is an instrument through which to construct the infinite.”  

My Imagination Quilt embodies my search for linkages of space/form, familiar and imagined.
“Under the cover of Daydreams, we discover the Imagination.
Imagination lives in the space between Past, Present, Future.
Then and There, become Here and Now, until Here Becomes Now.
We cover the imagination with daydreams to be lived.
