The Dancer In The Hairy Slippers

The dancer

Here’s a piece I finished earlier this month for the exhibition I’m currently in at The Brunswick in Swansea. It’s a combination of a solvent transfer print overlaid with a drawing that started life in one of my sketchbooks. I went to an avant garde theatrical piece by Marega Palser, who also does performance drawing, and sketched this when she sat out for a while as other dancers performed. She wore strange, oversized hairy slippers. The image in the background is a piece of graffiti on a very old factory building, part of Swansea’s Industrial Revolution past. The exhibition runs until next March.

I'm an artist / printmaker / scribbler. I love drawing and all the geeky stuff associated with printmaking, working in a figurative style. I live in Wales with husband and demented cats. And my real name is Rose Davies :D

  1. I also love the way the slippers and hair align – and I like how the cooled hair – and stands flow off the page – while the softness of the figure contrasts nicely with the strong, geo metrics in the background – and lastly, enjoyed the colors too – that soft blue – and more pastel tones – and I had the chance to peek at handful of your pics – but this is certainly my favorite of them all. wish I could attend the exhibition.
