Picturing the Future
This series was made in response to the celebration of the 125th anniversary of the founding of the Newlyn Society of Artists. Members were asked to submit for exhibition work inspired by past members to mark this milestone in the society’s history. I took as my inspiration Dame Laura Knight’s beautiful paintings of female figures looking out to sea on the Cornish cliffs.
My work is a collaboration with female friends - a mixture of rear view portraits, local coastal landscapes and handwritten quotes about ther hopes and fears for the future.
