Profile Image

Sister (Eleanor Brown Poet) just forwarded me this, it's a combination of my Instagram profile with an image from one of my posts behind it. I wouldn't have seen it and I LOVE the juxtaposition and the heightener both images provide for each other.

A commission put together and taken away yesterday. I'm taking socially distanced studio visits by appointment.

Masks

Anyone else worn a mask inside out and upside down yet? I want one like this, there would be no mistakes AND I wouldn't have to see anything I didn't want to, medieval reliquary from Belgium.

I've alway had a soft spot for canopic jars - and of course reliquaries.

Conundrum: Look down for the beetles, bones and wings or look up for the hares, deer and birds?

Suffolk Craft Society Virtual Summer Exhibition

Posted by cmgaylard on July 18, 2020 at 4:55 AM

The Suffolk Craft Society Virtual Summer Exhibition opens today at 10am on their website. My expanded work for 'Moth' is on the Gallery page of this website. For the past three months I have been immersed in the muted colours and delicate patterns of moths and their peers so there is much more still to be seen (and created) I am planning to have a day of sensibly managed studio visits by appointment, date to be confirmed. A very enjoyable preview took place yesterday. Finally - a shout out to my initial muses, two exceedingly subtle and small moth remains found while sorting my studio out earlier this year.
