On The Map Exhibition Photographs

Wednesday, April 11th, 2012
Posted in: Blog, Exhibitions

These are a few low resolution images that were sent to me of the ‘On The Map’ exhibition at Hastings Museum and Art Gallery.

A varied selection of maps from the Museum’s collection will be on display in the galleries until the 17 June 2012, including Samuel Cant’s 1746 Survey of Hastings, and William Gant’s 1852 Survey. An increasing number of contemporary artists are turning to cartography for inspiration, and this display features work by eighteen contemporary artists including my own ‘Hiraeth’.

The show will be on display for another two months so do take the time to pop in and see it if you’re in the area.

Circle of Life Embroidery

Wednesday, March 21st, 2012
Posted in: Artwork, Blog

This is the first of two large embroideries I’ve been working on. It’s completely hand stitched with cotton thread on canvas. I’ve had it framed unmounted floating in the glass which is why it appears on a black background in one image and a white background in the other.

I have to say I’m pretty pleased with this piece; the slightly unusual framing sets it off nicely. It is approximately equivalent to a3 paper in size (297 × 420mm) and was a long time in the making taking around 50 hours to complete.

The Postman Always Delivers

Wednesday, March 7th, 2012
Posted in: Artwork, Blog

This little drawing which I’ve entitled ‘The Postman Always Delivers’ is something I concocted for magical Marie-Louise Plum’s current mail art project. It’s currently on display in Walthamstow, London, and I understand there may be plans to tour this wonderful collection of work… watch this space!

There is a rolling call for submissions so if you’d like to contribute to this project have a look at the details on Mademoiselle Plum’s website right here >> www.marielouiseplum.com. The current call has a deadline of the 2 April 2012 so get your doodle on kids.
