more colour explorations


'Paris' this image was produced in response to a visit to Paris as an Art Student in 1990.
This is on display with other archival artworks and inspirational "stuff" from my studio!

7th October 2009 Colour exploration. My starting point was "The Beautiful Batley Map". It's Geometric forms.





As I started I was surprised I chose a heavy black line, I thought to myself "I don't do geometric"!





All the while thinking of a friend Carol Holloran, who is moving a way from geometrics and going organic, she claims with influence from myself?




Today's colour exploration on packaging paper. I did enjoy having the strong line to work with, then a little abandonment!


As I was photographing the image, I noticed the portrait behind, and noticed a similarity. colour line, technique.




The above thoughts occurred whilst re-arranging and removing working drawings and paintings. Purposefully changing dynamics. Changing my pattern of production.




Or so I thought..... when I look round this (large) gallery approx 50' x 30', I have a mini revelation ! And I realise my patterns are distinctive. The above images I think depict this?

 ...good to be back after mysteriously being locked out of my own blog... I have been reflecting upon themes and techniques which have been at my core prior to and at the outset of art college adventures, which reduce down to organic form, traditional  techniques and exploring processes. New work embraces re-examining northern textile industrial heritage set within the Pennine regions of Yorkshire and Lancashire .  Within this, is how the changing face of industry has impaired our familiar visual reference. MY response is to pay homage to L.S. Lowry's imagined Lancashire urban landscapes- which are inherent  with my own Lancashire heritage , and create my own re-imagined urban and rural landscape.  Fine art print and textile techniques such as hand felted fleece, new and vintage cloths are layered with textile techniques and process using stitch to draw together a commonality within textile narratives.
