Getting ready for my first exhibition

Posted on Posted in Art, UncategorizedTagged , , , , , 2 Comments

Over two weekends (5 days) in May, I will be part of the Chichester Art Trail exhibiting from our home with my husband Alan.  As some of you will know, I have found that I cannot label myself in any particular way and struggled with what I should show.  The final decision is to present three different types of work and canvas feedback from visitors to the Art Trail to see what they did and didn’t like.  The first work to come back from the framers is the most traditional – three pieces in mixed media.  I used found twine from the beach and acrylic ink to start with, and then built up a series of layers with more ink, cold wax and charcoal powder.  Here are the results:

The next task is to finalise titles and then decide on pricing.  The tricky bit!!

We’ve done it!!  Alan and I have registered to be part of the Chichester Art Trail in 2018!  We have visited exhibitions many times in the past but this will be the first time either of us have been involved so please put the dates in your diaries (the first two weekends in May – 5th/6th/7th and 12th/13th and see if you can come along!

More details can be found here:Chichester Art Trail – we are looking forward to it!

I have decided to focus on my mixed media/collage pieces on paper and on my contemporary three dimensional work using found materials.  These are the three images submitted as part of the application process:

Alan is an Associate of the Royal Photographic Society and works in monochrome taking inspiration from the local area and further afield within Great Britain.

So the game is on: first step is to have existing work mounted.  I will then live with these for a while before deciding which to frame.  Meantime, I want to devote my time to completing more work using my vast stock of found materials – I have many ideas to follow through … watch this space!
