Title: Possers, Birds and Brodie Helmet

Media: Board,  paper, gesso, watercolour

This was done for an exhibition at Church called 'Hope' The first bird had appeared in a small book I was doing and they just multiplied. Two things about the birds. One - I looked at photographs on the internet in order to draw the birds and then created a lino cut as I wanted to produce an image that was disconnected from the original. Two - these birds are without wings, they are dropping as did the men in battle.

The Prints

The Lino Cuts

After a time, having photographed  and sent away for prints of my work, I realised that the drawings just don't photograph well. Having been making linocuts of objects and birds I decided to construct hand prints of them.

Screen Prints

I fist made screen prints in different colours of a flat iron, but as many of them weren't perfect and because they were watercolour based, I reversed them and made some small flotillas!

The Sketchbook Project

In 2012 I joined the sketchbook project based in Mew York, the premise of which was, if you completed a sketchbook and sent it to the project, it would join thousands of others in a gallery in New York. I didn't make the deadline in 2013 as I struggled with the idea of sending off my work and never seeing it again, so I joined again the next year, thinking I would make a duplicate book. Guess what? Didn't make the deadline again! However I still didn't really want to send either of the sketchbooks away. I've learnt a lot from this. Firstly that I can make second drawings which are just as good as the first and, having a sketchbook which is structured and thoughtful informs larger pieces. For example, the bird first appeared here on a piece of broken railing which I found at the back of an oven and the idea of combining drawing and linocuts also started on these pages.

In conclusion, I feel very privileged to have been given such generous access to their artefacts by NTOrmesby Hall and to have been given the opportunity to exhibit at the Hall . In my time I have had to prepare many essays and sermons and the relief after the deadline was enormous. While preparing pieces for this exhibition though, I remember very clearly thinking that I didn't want it to end and instead of relief I now feel a sense of loss. At the same time I have a new found confidence in myself as an artist.
