Exhibition at BoConcept

Back in the summer I was asked to exhibit some of my work in BoConcept a unique danish furniture store. It looked quite a home next to the lampshades and above the sofas. It was up for about three weeks alongside the work of other great Bristol artists. It was lovely that they wanted to support some local talent.

Day 15 and 16:

I have one week left to make prints and with that thought in the back of my head I am working pretty hard. Here’s what I’ve been doing with the last couple of days...

The first beach I got to in India, dotted with lots of these brightly coloured fishing boats. And the fish they caught was very tasty. Arambol, Goa

This unfinished print is the view I had from a houseboat cruising down the beautifully calm, serene backwaters in Alleppy, Kerala. This print is dedicated to my Dad.

Day 4:

I got to visit the University today. I was impressed. There is some amazing talent there. The studios are big and spacious and the teachers and students are lovely. We had a chinwag and some chai. There is a real craft and technique to printmaking and the students had it sussed, including some really interesting concepts behind their artwork. I also went to check out the Baroda Museum and art gallery while I was out, so I came back to the studio inspired and ready to do some printmaking.

I have done a quick print of a bird on the shore in Varkala, Kerala. I think I will also redo this one in slightly different colours.
