February Exhibitions

I visited exhibitions and London Fashion Week in February.
Monochrome: Painting in Black and White  at the National Gallery, London examined art works in Monochrome, which as someone obsessed with colour it was quite informative.
Olafur Eliasson created a light installation using yellow light which rendered everything in the room monochrome.

Hard Painting at the Phoenix Gallery provided the Colour and Abstract art that inspires my own practice.

Another fascinating exhibition where  art and science meet is Deconstructing Patterns at the Francis Crick Institute, London.

Recent Work February 2018

Recent work in Textiles and Print inspired by Amyloidosis

Experimenting with Print

I’ve been spending time exploring a new technique for making work. This has been acid etching to make prints of my images.  I have enjoyed the scientific approach to creating etchings but I still have issues with making clean prints. It also removes the possibility of lots of colour in the work.

Cellular Etch

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Cellular etch was made by coating the plate with masking varnish and then dripping meths onto the plate to remove the varnish in an interesting way.
