last week I took my sewing machine into the life studio – usually i draw directly onto canvas or linen and then stitch – on thursday I stitched directly onto the canvas – trying to capture movement and feeling – the colour is watered down acrylic applied to the back of the canvas This is the result after several more hours of stitching.
Caryatid number seven – fired and stained. I am hoping to complete a bakers dozen to hang along the longest wall of the gallery. Each caryatid will be in a vintage sewing machine drawer.
From an earlier post here is the finished ‘ Travellers in a Strange Land’ – not happy with the photograph – and I will need to spend some more time on this aspect. 
just completed and currently drying out – could be a keeper
Rosebed Street Gallery – smalls exhibition opens tomorrow night I have just finished a couple of new pieces for the show as they have already sold three pieces of work – looking forward to covering some of my framing expenses!
currently in a state of flux – or perhaps mild panic would be closer to the truth, solo exhibition opening in february so the count down has well and truly begun. many false starts and already a large body of work discarded
