visual artist : contemplating time, memory, and transformation.
It is that time -following a big project, time to reflect, time to assess. There is a goal post for next year - in May- June 2023 a group exhibition with five colleagues from Digswell Arts. But where to start? We have a three word theme to respond to : Time Traces Transformation. Some ideas …
Thank you to everyone who visited us at our exhibition 'Death, Dreams & Desire' which took place from 22nd September to 2nd October 2022. The venue was the unique Safehouse 1 in Peckham, London. Taking the ideas of Sigmund Freud as inspiration, we opened up new pathways of expression and thinking through a multitude of artistic media. From the haunting and self-questioning, the deathly and the curious, to the desire and the violence. All of the senses were stimulated through sound, film, photography, drawing, textiles and paint. We are proud to have shone new light on Freudian thinking and ideas.

The Memento Collective exhibition looms ever closer and I have been imagining new work for my part. The installation is growing and new ideas emerge as I dig deep into my memories of the 1950's and my brief relationship with my maternal Grandmother- Ruby Daisy. Ruby was, to say the least, eccentric. From memory she …
It's been a while - the past few months have been a blur - emotionally, physically, mentally. All the same really, all linked, all part of the same being. The fog or blur is beginning to clear- focus, let's hope it's not just a fleeting moment of clarity. I have been reading both fictional and …
My research led me to an essay written by Freud examining a recurring memory of Leonardo da Vinci. Leonardo is cited by Freud..
The idea that our memories of childhood or even recent events are as they seem or are they post memory -an interpretation based on our own experience of events mixed in with other influences such as recounted memories from others, photographs or similar incidents...... I am working on a project with the group 'memento collective' …

Becky you were so right - it is addictive! Now I'm hooked again and glad to be back posting for your squares challenge. Your rainbow made me think of another phenomena, created at sunset. What do you think of this 'burning bright bush (tree)' 🙂 I even think there is a hint of a rainbow …
