I recently did a short residency at the lovely Galerie Simpson in Swansea and experimented with developing three dimensional forms from paper, print and text.

Kollwitz Mashups
I’ve been doing some little mashups with my Käthe Kollwitz stamped prints and some newspaper. They’re stuck onto the windows of Galerie Simpson where I’ve been doing an artist’s residency for the past 3 weeks. On Saturday I’m having an Open Studio from 10.00 – 16.00 with tea and home-made cakes and the art I’veContinue reading “Kollwitz Mashups”
What Am I Up To Now? [7]
Still working on a new piece of art at my residency at Galerie Simpson on Swansea’s High Street. I’m taking my printmaking out of two dimensions into three and it’s certainly been challenging. Today I’ve been sewing paper together on my lovely Edwardian Singer sewing machine and then overstitching my little stamped prints of GermanContinue reading “What Am I Up To Now? [7]”

What Am I Up To? [3]
Working on something new in a short residency at the fab Galerie Simpson. Out of my comfort zone, working out the logistics of constructing prints and drawings in three dimensions. Ooooff.

It’s #Caturday!
Caturday, an Internet phenomenon. Like cats. I read a theory a while ago about why the Internet has been taken over by cats. It reckoned that dog owners have always had a chance to meet other doggy types because they walk their dogs and take them to training schools and there are dog clubs andContinue reading “It’s #Caturday!”
