It’s great to see that places are filling up on ‘Printmaking and Abstraction’, the first course in our new education programme!
.
The course has been designed by @kittyhillier to encourage a personal engagement with nature and an exploration of abstracting techniques and mixed media approaches.
.
We’re really pleased to be working with Kitty whose studio is based just around the corner at Islington Wharf in Penryn. Her paintings are created with layers of shapes derived from close observation of everyday details. They often conjure thoughts of huge sea creatures deep underwater, planetary systems, or the microscopic.
.
‘Printmaking and Abstraction’ with Kitty Hillier & John Howard, 4th & 5th September, 10am-4pm. Find out more and book via @grayswharfstudios

Made this painting in 2007 and disliked it ever si

Made this painting in 2007 and disliked it ever since (a series of failed experiments, I've been using it as a pin board in the basement) until yesterday when I uncovered and looked at it again. Weirdly it feels relevant to the thoughts circling in my head and for the first time I enjoyed sitting with it for a while. The carved figures, some grouped together and others distanced or alone, look like ancient standing stones. The landscape is unknown and imperfect but the energy is lively and there's a change in the wind.

Through brilliant online conversations over the last few days I've realised that whatever our experiences of the corona era, there's a common thread - we all agree that old systems haven't been working and there's an opportunity for us to create a fairer, cleaner world. To value science and art equally, connecting better with each other and our natural world. Yea, that can sound idealistic and pretty overwhelming - what's important now is for each of us to set realistic actions to facilitate change in our spheres of influence, starting with our local communities!
