The general theme of her work is concerned with the workings of the unconscious. How the often obscure content of dreams/fiction become manifest through the creative process.

She is particularly interested in childhood themes and fairy tales, which offer endless material for symbolic play and the projection of unconscious motifs. Collage is one of the most accessible media for Louise in this respect; along with film, painting, photography and mixed media.

Her most recent work of the last few years illustrates an interest in the latent power of symbols, including dream work – both personal and collective, the child’s relation to fairy tales
(both past and present) and the use of imagery as a way to expressing the inaccessible.

She has recently begun a series of postcard sized works based on a child’s eye view of the tarot; using acrylics, doodles, pen and ink and graph paper. She is also working on fish-eye paintings of landscapes and a film still project set in a dolls house.

Future lines of enquiry will entail working with animation software to make short films that have hitherto been worked out in collage-novels. Her ongoing inspirations include fairy tales, the use of dolls as models, Jungian psychology, Paula Rego, Loretta Lux, Roman Polanski and David Lynch.
