New Work
In summer 2008 The Arts Council of England gave me an award to help create a new body of work. Over the next year, I will be looking for new inspiration and evaluating the past fifteen years of commissioned work.
This new work is a much needed break from 'public art commissions' and is a more 'self indulgent' and traditional artistic pursuit, commenting on the 'human condition.'
As part of this award, I will be traveling through Italy - 'walking through the history of art' and exploring Tuscany - a favourite haunt of all the great modern British artists.
According to UNESCO, Tuscany has more heritage sites and artworks per square km/ mile than anywhere else in the world.
Drawings
A significant part of this new work will involve creating a series of large scale charcoal drawings and smaller sculptures.
These works - along with glycee prints and water colours from the Tuscan sketch books - will be available to view and purchase on a separate website later in the year.
Let me know if you want a link to this new site when it is ready.
Loooking for an agent...
I am looking for a suitable agent or gallery for this new work (mainly large charcoal drawings) Please contact me if you know one.
