"Caroline Hendry works between painting and drawing, creating pictures in ink and wash which explore a nostalgia for the early days of the internet."- Susan Mansfield
Originally from Inverness, Dundee based artist Caroline Hendry has been interested in depicting her personal sense of nostalgia since the covid lockdown of 2020. From under the duvet she looked back on her internet childhood and transported it onto her bed, producing a selection of duvet drawings whilst nestled under the bedsheets. This has been a turning point in her practice and Caroline continues to develop a body of work that discusses her complicated comfort with being online and stuck in bed.
Caroline graduated from Gray's School of Art in 2022 with a BA(Hons) in painting and has exhibited throughout Scotland, as well as being interviewed for publications such as ArtMag. Since graduating Caroline has been incorporating colour more into her work, with an interest in furthering the playful element of her practice. She takes inspiration from artists such as Marina Rheingantz, Tomoko Nagai and Henry Darger, as well as internet archives and indoor and outside spaces.
