I have not posted to my blog for over a month - mostly because I have been away, travelling down south and then holidaying at Noosa for a couple of weeks. I feel renewed really after the heartache of late. Plenty of sunshine, warm sea and explorative kayaking …. delicious.
I cannot believe tomorrow is Christmas Eve. Gosh it has arrived quickly this year. I hope you are all going to be celebrating happily with loved ones. Wishing you all a really safe and happy time and a hugely creative year in 2014. I will look forward to having more time next year to both post to my blog, and visit you all on yours - have missed that this year. The joy of being able to peek into each other's work spaces - a wonderful privilege.
Below are some photographs of work I have been experimenting with in the studio - a continuation of recent work with engravings though trying to find alternative ways of shaping and blocking out shapes from the engraved marks. Some things are working well, others still need work. It is fun though - spending time playing with ideas and seeing the play may lead to - if anywhere. I am enjoying the softness of the watercolours, a soft contrast to the strong images I have been working with of late.
After Christmas I will post on a really special project I have worked on this year - well shared in is more accurate. The project has come to a close with the end of the year but it has bought enormous pleasure along the way. Once the New Year begins I will be working on the collaborative book Fiona and I have begun, and then already, there are a number of quite exciting projects lines up for the year ahead. I am very much looking forward to this coming year ……. feel it is going to be a good one. Hope you are all feeling that too!
