Last October Eleanor White and I made a resolution to make a drawing or painting each week - this exhibition is the result.  I made a series of small pictures of pots and cups on paper, which led to working in the same way on board and with collage, trying to look at the objects as two-dimensional patterns made up of arrangements of shapes.  This led to working with patterned panels, partly inspired by the Islamic idea of repetitive images signifying the boundless presence of God.   Being able to arrange and rearrange the panels to make their own infinite compositions has been part of the pleasure of working in this way.

  Postcards for the Oloya&Hope appeal Dear all (with apologies if you have also received this news directly) - I am sending a huge thanks for all who have supoorted the appeal to raise funds for a family's education in Uganda.  There are still some paintings and postcards available but we have made £955 of the £1200 target which is wonderful: thank you. ALSO I am inviting you to sign up for a new newsletter 'Studio notes' which will have occasional updates about new work or exhibitions.  For those who signed up to my original list, this direct post from my blog to your inbox (which you are reading now) is seemingly going to be discontinued by the server sooner or later, and I don't want the trail to go cold!  The new newsletter will hopefully be a reliable way to keep in touch.  If you'd like to add your name to the new list, please do so here.    Thanks everyone.  I'll look forward to being in touch.
