'Not Far From Here' by Khloe Baker on display at Further North.

Khloe Baker creates anecdotal illustrations, collecting passing experiences that evoke a sense of belonging or familiarity. Layering coloured pencils and sometimes paper, she creates with an intuitive energy in an effort to catch a fleeting moment. Her affection for buildings and the stories which inhabit them are a repeating motif of her work, documenting incidental scenes such as the snow outside of a bakery, people gathered outside of a cinema, or a haircut in Hyde Park.

Khloe’s latest series, Self Portraits is a departure from the artists usual role as an onlooker as she places herself within the narrative, sharing people and places which hold significance to her.
