#SixWordSaturday A day of experimenting in the print room- not sure I have quite mastered the technique but hopefully on Tuesday I will get better results? I turned the prints upside down and I think they look a bit like angels wings- or at least 'wings' what do you think? The last one in blue …

I had fun last week making these cyanotypes in the garden. A bit hit and miss as the timings can vary depending on the sun. Sometimes they work out and sometimes they are not so great, but the unexpected nature of making art is what makes it interesting. I have signed up for some printmaking …

About Memento Collective A collective of five working artists who meet regularly to share and discuss the progress of their work. Through doing so they have identified a number of common themes; memory, loss, re-emergence and return. These are expressed by each artist through a variety of practices, concepts and techniques, including drawing, painting and printmaking; sculpture; photography and film; documentation, installation and live art.

Memento Collective, a group of five contemporary artists, have found a source of inspiration in the work of Sigmund Freud. This collective exhibition, ‘Death, Dreams & Desire’ responds to Freud’s ideas and thinking through a multitude of creative approaches, from the haunting and self-questioning to the deathly and the curious. All of the senses will be stimulated through sound, film, photography, drawing, textiles and paint. This group exhibition shines new light on Freudian thinking and ideas, and will keep visitors intrigued long after they leave. DEATHS DREAMS & DESIRES We are excited to announce that our exhibition entitled 'Death, Dreams & Desire' will take place from 22nd September to 2nd October 2022. The venue is the unique Safehouse 1 in Peckham, London.

This exhibition has been made possible by a collaboration of Artists at The Forge Digswell Arts and supported by the Broadway Gallery as part of the Letchworth Culture Project.

I couldn't resist promoting our group exhibition 'In Our Garden' for today's challenge: Verdant. Living in a garden city it's all about open green space and well being. If only we were closer to the sea it would be utopia for me. April 3rd - May 16th 2020monotype - horse chestnut 1/1 Verdant
