Tidying up my studio, listening to Norton lecture by William Kentridge
Tidying up my studio, listening to one of William Kentridge’s lecture as part of the Norton series, on YouTube. As I tidy up my studio, I listen and watch, though listening is priority as I need to look at what I am keeping, and what I am throwing away. His lecture, In Praise of Shadows,Continue reading “Tidying up my studio, listening to Norton lecture by William Kentridge”
Two exhibitions – one either side of the Severn – last chance to see them

So whichever side of the Severn youContinue reading “Two exhibitions – one either side of the Severn – last chance to see them”

Banking on things – gambling with the Earth
Last night I attended an online talk by Gabriella Hirst, hosted by Rebecca Farkas. It was very interesting and thought provoking. I learned that in Australia they use the term ‘banker’ when a river overflows its sides/banks. That made me think of other similar terms, such as banking on something happening; banking as in trade.Continue reading “Banking on things – gambling with the Earth”
Severn Flooding 2030 landscape shifts from rising sea levels
I have just put 4 reduction linocut prints up for sale on Instagram, from an edition of 6 under #artistsupportpledge. I had a work selected for the Hastings Contemporary #asp show.

One exhibition on now and another coming soon!
Those of you who know my work well will be very aware of my interest in the River Severn. This autumn I am crossing over to the other side, to carry on conversations already begun with like-minded river lovers. First to open is at The Old Passage in Arlingham. Recently taken on by new people,Continue reading “One exhibition on now and another coming soon!”
