Workshop - Painting on the plate on 10 Feb 2007

Using glazed tiles and ceramic paint to paint a picture, which would link in well with the theme of the Deaf Visions Day of Renaissance Crockery. And to show them my work in progress, some examples from the Wallace Collection, and let them know how to paint the tiles. I will introduce them to images of traditional English flowers, then instruct them in the technique of painting onto ceramic tiles, then encourage them to paint their own interpretations of these images onto the tiles.

Different project

One Day Difference

Acrylic on canvas

183 cm x 61cm 2007

In a different project I am trying to create space within the canvas around the main thematic place. I apply colour to 40-60% of each canvas in a series so as to create intervals in which the image can breathe and resonate.

I really feel that this has liberated the art from the constraints of the frame of the canvas or the edges of the paper.
