It’s been a while since I posted, that time of year I suppose when we’re all hunkered down waiting for spring! However, I was recently taken on by an online gallery Singulart – who are based in France and whose remit is to promote contemporary artists from Europe (France, Germany and UK in particular) to new markets. They have just posted an online interview with me about my life in art, to their blog, which I thought you might find interesting to read.
The link to the full interview is here. Below is a snippet from it…
How did you find your voice as an artist?My earliest memory of art is of my first day at school, I would have been 5 years old, intently drawing marigold flowers in a work book. I can still see myself pressing the vivid green and orange crayons onto the page, forming the petals and stems…The Singulart blog also has interviews with other artists, giving glimpses into their lives and working processes, which you might also find interesting, so after you’ve read mine, why not explore!
Congratulations! Beautiful work! I look forward to reading your full interview. 😀
Many thanks Rachel, hope you enjoy it.
Intrigued by your cloth ceiling?!
Great interview by the way. I really like the coherent way you communicate about your work.
Thanks, that’s really kind of you Alison!
Hi Alison, yes the cloth ceiling! Well when I started using this rustic space (a neighbour’s old hayloft above a stable) there was only a thin membrane between the rafters and the roof slates. The cloth was to stop dirt etc from sifting down into the studio. It’s now got plaster board up there which is much better!
