Fishslab collective work in progress

It has been testing. Last year I signed up for the Fishslab collective not knowing that I would be having an operation. Bad timing ...  so it has been adapting my kitchen to work on a couple of new prints. One of which is at the framers (unphotographed...) and the other one I am still working on.  

I am also working on an instalation for this exhibition.

Rapid Response

Sometimes one just has to go for it. A local artist Trish Flynn was in the right place at the right time to take a cancelation slot in a wonderful space in Margate 'The Pie Factory'. I was invited to be part of an exhibition suitably titled 'Rapid Response' with fourteen other artists. This followed directly after the Deal exhibition. It was interesting to see my work in a very different environment. I was fortunate that the person who had brought one of my series of three prints permitted me to show the print that he had brought. so I could show them in the same sequence of three.

I also submitted three other prints including my kettle print which fitted the title Rapid Response.

Phantastical Dreams

So the prints are finished and the installation has been transported to the gallery. Will add an image of the framed works in situ and also the installation (including sack of potatoes) after the curator has finished and the PV is over. (now added)

Preparations for Fantastical dreams in Deal.

Below the very beginnings of a thought process for an installation.

Desirable

A pre Christmas group exhibition. So I put in some prints. 

not brilliant photos and not sure where the patches on the background came from!

Passing Time

The show is up and changes have been made. I am pleased with the orange reflexions created. The subtile reflexions of the studio windows in the last post have been lost.

Sadly the true colour and detail does not come out in the photo.

Passing Time

Passing time is a group exhibition of comrades who worked together on the Access course at UCA Canterbury in 2010. We went on to  graduate with a Fine Art Honours degree at UCA.

I am working on a piece in my studio. It is somewhat site specific and will have to adapt to the lighting and environment of the Gallery where it will be shown.

I might say that the concept of this piece has had to adapt due to peer pressure! The original work was going to be a gold fish in a bowl which was deemed to be too provocative. It has brought up certain issues…
