Bobby came with me today to see the installation at the Exeter Brook Gallery. Everything is looking great for the opening event on Saturday 25th at 2pm. Angela has managed to get in all my new work from Texas. Beautifully balanced with Heidi’s georgeous work, it makes a brilliant show http://www.heidikoenig.co.uk/

First thing, Katherine applied a soft ground and we pressed into […]
So great to be able to have this space to really focus on making. At home all my own work gets squeezed between teaching and everything else I do – so hard to get continuity.
Because I’m not using a direct relief press, I’ve had to rethink everything. Working with Alfonso today we had a few false starts. I’ve had to learn to use skill to achieve the results I want as opposed to my usual chance and random acts. Starting on the electric press, I’d laid down too much […]
