From the studio No.36

I was a tutor at Newlyn School of Art on the year long mentoring course this year, and they invited me to take part in their annual online fundraiser.

I have ten pieces in the online exhibition. Included are some of my oak gall ink and Moon Drawing diptychs and triptychs, a card maquette for an installation plus a couple of pieces from the (2008) archive.

A bit about the Moon Drawings

During my time living in an ancient oak woodland in West Wales (2010-2015), I started going for full moon night walks and began making drawings in the dark. Setting my camera on a long exposure, I used the moon as a light source with which to draw. I call these photographic works Moon Drawings and Night Watch.

Since then, I have put them together with oak gall ink (also from the woodland) drawings and make small and large scale diptychs and triptychs.
