MA Print 2012 at UWE

The show is up and the public have been flooding in:


At times it has been difficult to see the work easily...


...a couple of friendly punters, known very well to me, who were kind enough to have a closer look at my work.


My MA show, 'a walk through the wood' seen earlier in the day when it was possible to see 'the wood for the trees'!



The final series of etchings, hanging in sequence left to right, taking the viewer on a walk up a side path in Westonbirt Arboretum. The black labels underneath describe other sensations heard or felt in the area along the walk.


The final series of drawings hanging beside the etchings shows the specimen trees in the vicinity of the path. Listening to comments over the past couple of days the drawings seem to be stealing the show over the prints, with people trying to decide which is thier favourite tree... I'll definitely be pursuing this style of work further.

Selected work from other Print Artists in the MA class of 2012:

John Lynch

Sue Brown

Sarah Barnes

Theo Wood

Jane Sasanow

Show time - nearly...

It has been a frantic few weeks, hence fewer posts, getting the MA show ready. We all spent a few days preparing the space,
Bags of equipment and bags of apprehension at this stage-
how will it all look?
painting the walls, and painting them again, then carefully arranging our finished work.

The final print selection ready for display
The work was assessed last week, another nail biting moment, and we can document our exhibitions this week. Next post I should be able to show tempting photos of the stunning work my friends on the course have made. There is a fabulous range of skills and innovative approaches on show, come along if you can. The show opens on Friday, 8th June at UWE Bower Ashton Campus, 6pm - 9pm. See previous post for more details.
