Back home

Now that I am back home and in my own studio again it is time to look back at the work done in Amsterdam and decide how to progress.

My favourite print done in Amsterdam

Therefore more experiments in the same direction for now.

 

Residency continues

I have been at the AGA Lab now for two weeks. What an amazing experience!

Playing with new and old techniques.  Amongst other things, I have printed two plates: one zinc etch and one drypoint on plastic.

Artist’s residency

After months of planning and preparation I have finally arrived in Amsterdam at the AGA Lab for a 4 week artist’s residency. I am really looking forward to a time of creativity, learning, experimentation with new techniques and interaction with other artists.

My experiments continue.

The architecture as well as the pottery shards I pick up on the beach tell the story of Simon’s Town.

Experiments

The beginnings of a new project – in preparation for an artist’s residency in Amsterdam later this year.

 

Going to life drawing regularly is finally starting to pay off…

 

Scraperboards

Every so often I return to the scraperboards that we used to do in Primary school.

keep on sketching

Had a wonderful holiday in Vilancoulos, Mosambique.  Having a sketch book handy added to the experience.
