Statement
Using a range of media from drawing and prints to constructions and installations I explore the influence of places, how we experience them, and how we get to know them.  Current projects include developing constructions based on the ginnels in Skipton, and a series of drawings exploring space and light at Skipton Castle.  Other recent work is generated by responding to ideas, such as a physical and tangible response to the 'One line on-line' project to create hundreds of linked drawings on computer.   

Experience
Nancy Stedman turned to art, studying sculpture at Bretton Hall, after a long career in landscape conservation.  For several years she was a project manager of public art projects, working for Public Arts in Wakefield.  She also taught art history and theory at Bretton, and drawing at Sheffield University.  Working freelance, research projects included a review of public art projects for Bolton Metro, photographic resources in the Yorkshire and Humber region for Yorkshire Arts, and the potential for skills sharing between volunteers, for DIVA in Wakefield.  Currently she is managing a programme of bursaries for emerging artists for the Art House in Doncaster, and is Development Officer for South Square Centre in Thornton, Bradford.
