20/4/2017

We had an excellent opening day for Inside-Out Gloucester's exhibition at the Gardens Gallery in Cheltenham. We're there until Monday 24th April then were off to Gloucester Cathedral for the Bank Holiday weekend.
Two painters, two textile artists and two stone carvers; excellent.
​At Gloucester I'm hoping to be doing some live painting in the cloisters.

'I am' finished

18/4/2017

My latest work 'I am' is finished. It has gone through a series of developments taking bereavement as a central theme, it started out as Mourning Into Dancing - which I will go back to at some point. 'I am' has grown into a more specifically Christ centred image; still with bereavement as it's core. The clouded mistiness of the moment of death is transformed by a new reality held and coloured by something greater than our loss.

'I am' will be shown as part of an exhibition in Cheltenham and Gloucester in the next couple of weeks. I'm off today to start hanging alongside five other artists that make up 'Inside Out Gloucester'. It will be seen alongside 'Storm' and my other new piece 'Wing'.

It's Blog Monday - New work

Time is getting tight. With an Inside Out exhibition coming next week I still fighting with a new piece. Initially working on the idea of Mourning into Dancing the subject has morphed into something slightly more complex. It's been a struggle but there is hope. I'm by no means there yet and there has been a great deal of layering, obliterating and re-building. If finished it will hang alongside 'Wing' which is also on exhibit for the first time next week. All very exciting.

I suppose I've spent some time working on 'Wing'. It took a good while to get it to the point where I am happy to have it exhibited. I stopped for a good month or so knowing it wasn't finished but waiting for the drive to risk destruction to push it neared to where it needed to be.
It's first public outing will be at the Gardens Gallery, Montpellier, Cheltenham (19th-25th April 2017) as part of Inside Out's contribution to Cheltenham's Christian Arts Festival. Immediately after it will be at Gloucester Cathedral for a few days - 29th April to 1st May)

It's been a while

How time flies. One minute it's August then it's now. Somewhere inbetween Christmas happened. Maybe I hibernated? I find winter harder and harder to endure as the years go by. Maybe it's because I have been fairly slow in therms of creativity and then I have nothing I want to write about. Maybe I just don't know how to be an up to the minute, down with the kids, technophile blogging dude.
I shall try harder. If I say "Monday is Blog day!" and repeat it to myself often enough then something will happen on a more regular basis.

Just a thought - Maybe Trump winning the US elections melted my soul and left me incapacitated until this new spring awakening. But that doesn't explain September and October. I supposed they went missing due to delayed Brexit shock.
