(deviant)Artists: Miranda Peake

Miranda Peake’s work focuses on the everyday, and our immediate environments. She is interested in the humour and poetry inherent in our day-to-day lives, and her work seeks to extract this. Her current work on paper and also in video combines text and image snatched from the worlds we are all familiar with, domestic objects, secrets whispered into mobile phones, arguments overheard on buses, the background to our daily lives. These elements combine to create images which act as emblems or flags for our daily existence.

Miranda Peake is a London based artist. She received her Fine Art degree from Oxford Brookes University and a Fine Art MA from Chelsea College of Art in 2000. Her practice is predominantly drawing and painting based, however she works with video and installation, as well as on paper. She has shown her work in London as well as abroad.
