The foundations of an exhibition.
And so begins the preparations. The last couple of weeks have been busy- with my new studio to prepare and organise, plus supports to construct and prime, I have become aware in the change of emphasis between student and professional practice. Right from the outset I am focusing more on the actual quality of what I am producing, slowing down the process to achieve something which I hope will be worthy of a gallery space. The biggest challenge however, has been to find an appropriate exhibition space, one with plenty of light and wall space that is conducive to contemporary art, situated in an area that is both accessible to the general public and located within a locality associated with progressive art. Finally I think we might have achieved this, it is yet to be confirmed but fingers crossed we will be making an announcement within the next week, from then on it should be onwards and upwards.

Jayne Smith has been shortlisted for the Pushing Print exhibition in Margate, Kent. http://www.pushingprint.org/

Naomi Hannam has been shortlisted for the Midas award. View her work in the upcoming exhibition at the Millenium Gallery, St.Ives. http://www.millenniumgallery.co.uk/

'Painting is the art which reminds us that time and the visible come into being together...' this quote by John Berger appeared in the Art magazine 'Turps Banana' ( really worth checking out if you are a painter). Time, by referencing memory, the past and present, with the visible representations that have been depicted in paint in order to access a subject on a deeper level. This probably sums up one of my main motivations in my work at the moment, which I am trying to achieve by sourcing images from various places - personal photographs and those from the media, stills from T.V. and film, and iconography from Early Romantic Paintings; Combining and layering to produce something that has a timeless, infintessimal quality by which I hope will evolve into another dimension. This is my starting point.
