This is a tiny part of a giant collage currently on display at The Senedd in Cardiff (until February 13th 2025). The individual pieces are greatly enlarged fragments that are in reality about the size of a finger nail. They started out as gel-plate prints that were ripped up and restructured into collages on A3Continue reading “#HomeKeyToHome : Going Large 2”

#HomeKeyToHome : Going Large 1.
I’m an educator as well as an artist and I work a couple of days a week for a national homelessness charity as an arts tutor. Over the past few months I’ve been working with a group of other staff and our members (service users) to develop an exhibition for The Senedd, the Welsh GovernmentContinue reading “#HomeKeyToHome : Going Large 1.”
#Caturday Archives
Back in 2008, I was working with a professional life model, creating a mixed media piece and a very young Sparta Puss walked in the room and hung around, so I drew her too.
Getting Sticky…
I’ve been making some collages from recent botanical Gelli Plate prints. Here is a detail of one of them, showing the overlay of the ripped pieces of prints and the outline of some of the botanical subjects. They’re going to be scanned professionally and massively enlarged for an exhibition in January.
#Caturday Silhouette 8.
This #Caturday Saturday, my negative silhouette of little rescue cat Bill shows a cyanotype print of an ostrich feather. I cut the image of Bill from some very heavy textured paper that I recycled, I painted it black and started to experiment with it.
#Caturday Silhouette 7.
This #Caturday Saturday, my silhouette of our little Bill is on top of a cyanotype print that someone threw away, I fished it out of the paper bin! I think she looks lovely silhouetted against the ostrich feather. The image of Bill is cut out of some discarded paper too. I painted it black.
Tiny Scraps…
I’ve been doing a lot of Gelli Plate printing lately and I’ve ended up with lots of prints, mainly from botanicals – leaves, grasses, flowers etc… They’re nice to look at but don’t really stand up as artworks in their own right. So I’ve been reusing them. Yesterday I posted badges I’ve made with some.Continue reading “Tiny Scraps…”
Shiny Botanical Badgery.
I’ve been doing a lot of teaching and demonstrations recently and I’ve collected lots of Gelli Plate prints using leaves, and some graphite rubbings as well. I’ve an art and craft fair coming up on December 7th and I thought I’d use the gel prints to make unique and original badges They’re very shiny andContinue reading “Shiny Botanical Badgery.”
In The Pink…
What’s going on here then? I’m getting a few things ready for next weekend’s art and craft fair at GS Artists on Swansea’s High Street. It’s on Saturday December 7th, 11 – 5pm and it will be filled with goodies from local artists and makers. I’ll show you what the mystery object is when IContinue reading “In The Pink…”
#Caturday Silhouette 6.
This #Caturday Saturday, my silhouette of our little Bill is on top of some paper I printed up a few years ago, before Covid! I cut random shapes from vinyl and printed them, again at random, with overlays of Cranfield Safewash oil-based relief inks in the three Primary Process colours – Yellow, Magenta and Cyan.Continue reading “#Caturday Silhouette 6.”
