I have made some new print works for Artland on 21st June. The images below are examples.
I have been experimenting with incorporating spray paint. Also I have been reworking some old prints.
I has been good to be working towards an event. I am sharing the Resurgence Centre space with two other artists. It is a beautiful space. Very different from my converted garage.
Producing some small works and experimenting with spray paints. I also have some random wooden Letters that I hope to incorporate into my prints at some point.
It has been a long time since I updated this. There has been a lot going on - the most important perhaps is a new studio roof that is insulated! My old tin roof meant that I was getting a lot of condensation dripping down in cold winter weather and when sunny and warm the studio was a like a furnace.
I have been busy printing a new body of work. Living not far from the sea and being a all year round swimmer I am aware of the huge quantity of plastic flotsam and jetsam in the ocean. This features in my prints more and more. I am also active organising litter picks!
A few samples below! Each print is one of a small series. Night Sea is a solo.
Recently I converted my garage for a second time into an exhibition space for our local art trail.
Generally I have been very remiss about posting updates on my work. Slowly I have been exploring different subject matter relating to my local environment and current topics. This time I worked on a body of work connected to Ukraine and sold my small sunflower prints to rase funds for our local refugee hub. I have also been working on the issue of plastic waste to make prints.
I am working on a series of prints with the titles Flotsam and also Jetsam. As usual each print is an individual print as part of a group. I also sometimes incorporate hand applied paint to some of the prints, calling them prints as a majority of the paper surface is covered with printed images and marks.
The Access 10 group organised an Exhibition in Folkestone - the first one since lockdown. So nice to be exhibiting again in East Kent. Gallery 8 is a small but really lovely space. Good window and lighting.
