Once again I shall be exhibiting at Lakeside Garden Centre in Crockerton, Venue 29, with full details on the excellent website www.wvat.co.uk It is my seventh Trail!
Cyanotypes created specifically for the Trail include some nursery rhymes developed on some of my grandmother’s handkerchiefs, a few having lace edging made by her.
Sea Fever by John Masefield is a favourite poem that continues to stir me and I have taken lines to produce a series inspired by it.
Finally, I have inherited a quantity of oil paints from my father when he owned an art shop and the showcase of the Trail makes me explore their potential. Whilst it is not a medium I know well, there will be some new journeys which will be expressive, textured and the results of taking risks!
I will also mention that my cyanotype cards are on sale at Hauser and Wirth, Bruton, Somerset. I was given the opportunity to use some of the plants from Piet Oudolf’s prairie scheme so the cards have a direct link with this wonderful garden. I am thrilled to have my work under the same roof as, currently, Elisabeth Frink!
