Exhibition at The Brook Gallery

admin — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 15:08:49 +0000

My solo exhibition at The Brook Gallery in Budleigh Salterton has now finished. A big thanks to Angela and everyone at the gallery as well as all the visitors who came along. I'm really pleased to have sold so many prints - this means I can start a new body of work next month!

I'm looking forward to see the work of printmakers Eileen Cooper and Mila Furstova as part of the gallery's Women In Art show.

Here are a couple of press cuttings from the exhibition...

drypoint in progress

admin — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 14:43:33 +0000

After teaching drypoint in schools for the past few years and never actually doing any myself I've decided to go back to this process. I like drawing with a gramaphone needle and I can cope with the scratching noise (which can sound like a flock of herring gulls when it's a class of 30 year 9s) but not being able to make curved lines is frustrating.

"Come along now, my dear, if you don't want to be made into wolf-porridge", he exclaimed with frightening joviality...

The Wolves of Willoughby Chase, Joan Aiken

Drypoint is an intaglio process like etching. The burr thrown up at the sides of the incised lines scratched into the plate will hold the ink (creating a softer more blurred line than the neat precise marks of etching which uses acid to incise). It's not finished yet but I hope to print before Christmas.

Peter Pan features in this week's Sunday Times Style magazine! ... but I'm really distracted by the gorgeous Toast baubles on the same page.

Sunken Garden Secrets Installation at Kensington Palace

admin — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 20:33:13 +0000

here are photos of the Kensington Palace installation of secrets (of former inhabitants and visitors alike!) I liked how the red baubles suspended from the verdant pergolas were like strange berries or fruits filled with all kinds of unusual secrets offered by the public...

Sunken Garden Secrets at Kensington Palace

admin — Sun, 17 Jul 2011 20:36:06 +0000

I've just finished working on my latest project which is an interactive installation in the Sunken Garden at Kensington Palace.

As part of the inTRANSIT festival of Kensington and Chelsea, I've created a series of lasercut silhouettes featuring the secrets of former inhabitants of the palace (from the ratcatcher and Peter the wild boy to various princesses and princes). The public are invited to go along and add their own secrets between 22 - 31 July.

While working in Oxfordshire over the past few weeks I've been visiting Blenheim Palace to get an idea of Sarah Churchill, Duchess of Marlborough and to see the statue of Queen Anne commissioned by the Duchess. This inspired the bauble depicting 'Secret Regrets' which suggests the remorse the two inseparable friends may have felt after their friendship dramatically fell apart in 1711.

Masque of the Red Death

I've interpreted the poster of the classic horror based on Poe's tale for the flicker club who are screening the film this Saturday (4 June) as part of the Stoke Newington Literary Festival.

Although I'm not the biggest fan of Edgar Allan Poe, this is my favourite of his tales and I did enjoy Roger Corman's luminous film with Vincent Price as a fabulously evil Prince Prospero weaving through the dancing couples in his pursuit of the red masked figure. I'm really looking forward to the screening at Stoke Newington Town Hall, surrounded by Poe memorabilia... and other dark things.

Peter Pan Wallpaper…coming soon

admin — Sat, 07 May 2011 20:49:42 +0000

Hooray! after months of being absorbed by J.M. Barrie, the Llewelyn-Davies family and the creation of Peter Pan, I've finally finished my new Neverland wallpaper design. Here are some of the cut-paper characters that feature in it. Everything has been hand-cut by a scalpel... it's like drawing with a knife. This week I'm finalising the colourways so the paper should be ready by next month.
