Darning on the surface

My teaching samples for the Repair & Disrepair workshop at Harewood House last weekend.

Small things

This time last week I was visiting the private view of 'Pinpoint' at One Church Street Gallery; an exhibition of small works inspired by or using a sustained approach to textiles. I was delighted to have my two mixed media patched pieces selected for the exhibition and found it fascinating to see how other artists had approached the brief. Works in all different media and using a wide range of processes all conformed to a size restriction of 20cm x 20cm x 20cm. I found the focused scale provided an intensity to the works despite many having a limited palette of colour, process and form. Somehow there was a heightened sensory quality to many of the works. If you are in the area do pop in and let me know what you think.

You can see more images from the exhibition on Flickr here.

Pinpoint

Delighted to hear today that my work has been selected for an exhibition called Pinpoint, opening this weekend at One Church Street Gallery in Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire. It's a special one for me as I grew up just up the hill from Great Missenden.

Learning my letters

I enrolled this evening for an evening class in Letterpress and Printmaking led by my colleague and all round inspirational chap, Brian Hindmarch, at Bradford College. I am itching to get stuck in and hope to share some images with you.

If you find the images below as edible as me I believe there are some places still available. More info here.
