I am so looking forward to participating in the Time Lapse show with two other artists from the Forest of Dean working in printmaking and related media. Nichola Goff, Melanie Clarke and myself are exhibiting a selection of works under the title of Time Lapse, at Centrespace Gallery in Bristol over the coronation weekend. We’dContinue reading “Time Lapse Exhibition at Centrespace Bristol #coronation weekend”

Body erodes, memory erases & covid erupts
In recent years my work has become increasingly performative in the manner in which it is made. Yet during those years, my body’s capacity for me to move or control it has become exponentially reduced. Irreversible changes present challenges with interesting outcomes. These changes have not been caused by any one distinctive physical disability, butContinue reading “Body erodes, memory erases & covid erupts”

Studio Thinking Part 2 – looking from the past to the future
Studio Thinking part 2 – the 2nd November. Interesting reading the words that I wrote three days ago. It’s very cathartic to write like that, so I’m going to continue a little bit longer. I left off having talked about panoramic photos, videos and photography and told myself I would write more about printmaking andContinue reading “Studio Thinking Part 2 – looking from the past to the future”
blackbirds & blackboards
Firstly, blackbirds. Last year I wrote a blogpost about my relationship with a female blackbird that grew over summer 2021. By the end of the year I rarely saw her, but a young male with a slash of white on the edge of his left wing began to visit the garden looking for food. LastContinue reading “blackbirds & blackboards”
Two exhibitions – one either side of the Severn – last chance to see them
Very rarely have I been involved in two exhibitions on both sides of the Severn on the same dates! Both end on Sunday 27th March – the Old Passage exhibition in Arlingham and, across the river further along the estuary, the Severn Sisters show at 7Q in Chepstow. So whichever side of the Severn youContinue reading “Two exhibitions – one either side of the Severn – last chance to see them”
Newsletter February 28th 2022
I hope this finds you well and life is returning to a semblance of ‘normal’ since my last newsletter over a year ago. Lots has gone on over that time both outside and in my studio. Here’s a general update split into Flow, studio practice & exhibitions coming up VERY soon. My studio practice: IContinue reading “Newsletter February 28th 2022”
The impact of climate change on marginal plants on the banks of the River Severn
The warming climate is strongly linked to changes in ecology and ecosystems. Different flora and fauna may have different ways to adapt to climate change, and those that are unable to adapt may become extinct or migrate to different areas. Increased freshwater runoff in recent years from melting ice and increasing rainfall alters the salinityContinue reading “The impact of climate change on marginal plants on the banks of the River Severn”
