Preparations for the Oxmarket in Chichester

The last couple of weeks have been a whirl of screen-printing, trying to get a couple of new designs ready for exhibition at the Oxmarket gallery in March. The exhibition will feature a selection of new and established printmakers and will be open from 13-25th March, if you are in the area  please do pop in, there will be over 100 framed prints on show and hundreds more in browsers. It promises to be a wonderfully ecletic exhibition of different printmaking techniques and styles.

This is a small sample of my prints (no two are the same, even though only 3 sets of stencils were used).

This series I titled “dinner time” and I’m sure anyone who owns a cat will be very familiar with this pose 🙂

I have struggled to come up with a title for this one (any ideas?), but I was trying to capture that fleeting glimpse of a fish beyond the ripples in the pond surface…

 

 

The address for the exhibition is:

Oxmarket Gallery
St. Andrew’s Court
off East Street
Chichester
West Sussex
PO19 1YH

Open Tue – Sun 10am to 4:30pm
Free admission

Bacchus Exhibition

I am very pleased to say my Tropical Reef wall hanging that I made in response to the Felting and Fibre Studio Forum Challenge 18 months ago is currently on display in the Bacchus exhibition at Denbies near Dorking, Surrey. The exhibition is only on for another week so you’d better be quick if you want to see it. Entry is free.

This is my exhibit, some of you might recognise it 🙂

These links will take you to the story of its creation…

And these are a selection of the exhibition pieces that caught my eye… Clicking on the image will make it larger and the labels easier to read.

Natasha Mwaegbe was the only other textile artist in the exhibition. Her work reminded me of Maggie Grey’s books.

 

Anna Scott also has a print exhibition at Watt’s gallery, I am planning to visit that in the next couple of weeks.

 

This piece by Caroline Bond was made from glass, sand and rocks, it invited the viewer to touch it.

 

I liked how Grace Ellen had used the gloss medium sparingly, it really made the bank on the other side of the river recede.

 

This painting of a cow was my favourite and I was surprised it did not place in the judging.

 

If you are thinking about embarking on Ruth’s current mixed media challenge, I say go for it! You never know where it might lead! 🙂
