Print Club News / March 2024
Having been a Print Club member for a while now you’ll already know that I’m a keen gardener, I love the opportunity to spend a little time outdoors each day as the year warms up. We’ve reached the point in the cycle where everything is growing fast, shoots and weeds, trees coming into leaf and bulbs appearing from the soil. It’s a beautiful moment, and one which I always greet by trying to get an hour outside first thing in the morning, at least three or four times each week if possible, before settling into my studio for the day.
Lino / bronzed at the RWA Open 2023
Great to have a chance to revisit the RWA with friends recently, enjoy the show and take a few photos of my Lino / bronzed work in the main gallery there.
Lovely to be sited near Patricia Volk's sculpture too, we first exhibited together way back in 2008 I think.
RWA 170th Annual Open 2023
Really pleased to have been selected for the RWA’s 170th Open Exhibition. My piece Lino / bronzed is hanging in the main gallery.
The RWA has been beautifully refurbished recently, so if you haven’t been for a while it’s a great show, and well worth a visit. Open from 9th Sept 2023 to 14th Jan 2024.
Lino / venetian, commission for a house in Bristol
I wanted to post a few images of my Lino studies, as I’ve recently delivered a 100cm diameter ‘venetian’ edition to a collector here in Bristol, and was really pleased to receive some images of the newly installed work, a week or two back.
I drew the study after an inspirational trip to Venice, and Murano, to see some of the amazing glassworks that the Veneto is so famous for and perhaps, in particular, the work of Lino Tagliapietra, to my mind one of the most inspirational makers of the C20th.
