My grandmother, Veronica Gosling, was a writer, visual artist and curator whose life brimmed with curiosity and creative energy. To many, she was a distinctive artistic presence in Exeter, always asking “Why not?” and “What if?”
Veronica, who has died aged 94, was drawn to found objects for their shapes, textures and hidden histories, liberating them from their original purpose and setting them loose in new imaginative lives. In periods of upheaval she turned to painting, creating bold, layered works. Her home became an extension of her imagination: walls, corners and even appliances were quickly claimed by colour.
