I think I’ve posted all the work I did at my recent residency in Germany, where I worked mostly in black and white. Now I’m going to spend a bit of time having fun with the images and see what I can do with them in Adobe Photoshop. This is a section of the first work I did at Atelier Werenzhaim, where I drew intuitively onto very large paper with a bamboo dip pen and ink. I’ve put the image through AP Gradient Map and now the little creatures look a bit like multi-coloured angels, well, to me anyway.
I went to the artist residency with four other Welsh women artists, Chris Bird-Jones, Sarah Hopkins , Rhiannon Rees and Rhian Haf. We have been supported by 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 were mostly at the Atelierhof Werenzhaim, an artist community founded in 1996 by artists from East and West Germany in a 14th century former feudal tavern estate.
