Groan!!! Please pardon the awful pun! After drawing lots of small figures on big paper with two types of bamboo pen, I went out into the gardens at Atelier Werenzhaim and picked up some twigs (branching out – get it?). I chose one and dipped it into the pot of ink, emptied my mind and let my hand move and do the work.
These figures are so different to the others I did the day before, so rough, primordial, a bit frightening, a bit nightmarish. They go way beyond anything I would have done before. This residency is working for me, giving me the chance to try out things I never would have the time to do in my everyday life.
I’m in Germany on an artist residency with four other Welsh women artists, Chris Bird-Jones, Sarah Hopkins , Rhiannon Rees and Rhian Haf with support from Wales Arts International. We are all members of AGOR Abertawe, set up to facilitate creative activity between women artists in Swansea / South Wales, and the Brandenburg area. We’re at the Atelier-Werenzhain, founded in 1996 by artists from East and West Germany, in a 14th century former feudal tavern estate.

It’s really exciting to see this series morph with each new tool you are trying. Exciting times.
Thank you, I really enjoyed it and there’s more to come!
