This is the theme for current work and also extends to Visual Culture. I am on the elective 'Currating and Exhibitions' and have to produce my own virtual exhibition consisting of up to eight artists of which I am one. I have decided to exhibit along with John Everett Millais 'Dew Drenched Furze', Max Ernst 'Forest and Dove' and 'Histoire Naturalle', John Piper 'Coventry Cathedral', Ian Hamilton Findlay - assorted sculptures including 'Man a Passerby', Richard Long 'A Line made by Walking', Rosamond Purcell - 'Bookworm' and finally David Martin 'Vessels'. ![]() This was work produced in the first week. Across third year, we were given an A3 board on which to paint. I used it as a way to get back into painting, exploring texture and fading using an image from Largo. Oil on acrylic and mixed media. ![]() 'Fragments' Using the beach pottery, I thought I would impose them on a segment of ruined buildings at Viewforth. This was using oils. The landscape comprises ruined buildings, bricks and the sand itself 'burning' through the rubble. ![]() 'Fusion' A purely speculative, exploratory piece, using mixed media. Based on the spines of a scallop shell which also mirrors the spines of rocks going into the sea. ![]() 'Trace' Exploring the long format to give expression to the character of the fragment extending into the sand and beyond. Painted in oil. ![]() 'Mosaic' I fought with this! Starting off with nail polish of all things - gloss and sheen like the internal space of a shell. Acrylic and mixed media overlaid with oil. ![]() 'Man Friday's Footstep' Acrylic on canvas. This is one of three development pieces for the final diptych exploring the theme of man's imprint on nature. Given the Largo originations I though of using the 'tag' of the footstep that has mysteriously appeared around the village.
