Sunsets and dreams

I hope my cheesy title  brings a smile to your face - I created it for my workshops inspired by Turner’s oil painting methods. These workshops were all about giving participants a chance to ooo and ahhh at great landscape paintings of the past, then allowing them space to streak hot oranges, reds and purples across their canvases, creating the sunsets of their dreams (I’ve included some examples of their work in this month’s blog).

My first big show since my BBC appearance has now opened at Upfront Gallery near Penrith. And what a fabulous preview evening, given that it was raining stair rods outside.

So, if you’ve been out and about earlier this month, before winter showed its face again, you might have spotted an artist wearing a silly hat and a 1990s puffer. That’ll be me then. No more dressing up for the cameras at the BBC (still on iplayer until Friday!)

Industry in out of the way places

​So, I've cleared the decks, and am now looking at new subject matter: evidence of industry in out of the way places. I have always had a fascination with industrial landscapes, having grown up with it in my family.

Back in 2007, I made a series of works based around a scrapyard. It was full of life and interesting colours and shapes. I'm now turning my eye to Cumbria's industrial identity. This is how I'm defining the project.

  • Industry as defined as 'hard work', encompassing domestic, wartime, and children's jobs, as well as more conventional activity such as manufacturing and mining.
  • Site specific - all industry, from all time, but with a deliberate focus on out of the way places, such as above 200m. Mountainous regions such as Cumbria, have attracted certain types of industries and work, and the nature of these is very unique due to the geography of the area.

​During November, the county pauses each year to remember all those who have played their part in the many wars. In Cumbria, there have been many events, artworks and exhibitions to aid this moment of reflection.

Home is where the heart is... is a continuation of my research into notions around the space, indoor, outdoor or imaginary, we call 'home'.

My new lecture/workshop tour has begun!
What is the point of art? How do we teach it, interact with it, exhibit it, and sell it? This subject has fascinated me for years.
