visual artist : observing the everyday, time and memory

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.
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 …
Social media platforms to spread the word, or visuals, a good way to promote your art work? I have many profiles with links to my work in the hope it will be viewed and possibly attract interest in some way. One site that I especially find useful is Zealous.

After a long break this year, in December I returned to The Forge Print Studio in Digswell. I must say I have thoroughly enjoyed working there again and especially loved seeing- at a distance- many colleagues and catching up with their work and plans for 2021. Still exploring the theme of time and place and …

At the time I made it my paintings were very minimal, made with layers of paint, scrim, hessian and various materials embedded in the paint. This would be …
Inspired by the landscape and the gallery visits in Cornwall during the past week (and also after viewing the Maggie Hambling:Making Love with the Paint - you must watch)! https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000nx23/maggi-hambling-making-love-with-the-paint I returned to my studio. My sort of loose plan to rework some old canvasses or maybe obliterate the old and layer a new image/work. …
Time gone by Memory Transience
Silent Sunday : Inspiration the darkest hour is just before dawn
https://vimeo.com/315185961 paintingphotography-moving images Quickly Moving through the landscape, watching the tide ebb and flow, time and transience are something I am interested in exploring. The moving images taken on journeys capture moments in time, the images revealing details often missed as we move through time and space. The image of light featured : the speed …

time : the indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present and future regarded as a whole (Oxford Dictionary) the measured or measurable period during which an action, process or condition exists or continues (Webster's Collegiate Dictionary) My preoccupation with the concept of time has led me to re examine my practice- viewing previous …

My current project is an investigation into hag stones and beach pebbles generally, how they form, what creates their weathered appearance and how time and tides have worn them down and round and created their fascinating labyrinths, and unique surfaces. These are a few of the initial images- where I go from here is anyone's guess....... …
