Textile Art Forum Article

In the July issue of the Irish Quilt and Craft Magazine (A Fennel Shed Publication. www.irishquiltandcraft.com) includes an article about the Textile Art Forum I am involved with, which gives a background of the ideas behind each artist or quilters work for our "We Share The Same Sky" 2009 exhibition theme. Its a great insight into the work and what we are trying to do as a group, especially if you were or are unable to catch the exhibition through the year in Northern and Southern Ireland. Go to your newsagents now to check it out!!

Deconstruct / Reconstruct work update

Although alot of my recent posts have been based on the Lemonart jewellery, I assure you i have been working on my exhibiton pieces for the textile forum too!!



This is a little sample of the tile cloth I have been planning for the Textile Art Forum 2010 Exhibitions for Deconstruct / Reconstruct - all the images within the tile cloth are inspired by aspects of consist growth and development which happen around us- such as maps, architecture and urban/city growth rengeration, and also tiles in which i have deconstucted and reconstructed several different cloths.
I am really excited about this piece and hope to keep working on it to get it to a large enough scale that is manageable yet big enough to drape over plinths for floor based installations for a sculptural piece that i have talked about in previous posts.



I think that is all i wanted to catch you up with today but four posts in one day is pretty impressive i think!? Will continue to keep you updated!

Yellow House Art

After an application to showcase my work, the lovely people at Yellow House Art in Brighton have asked if I would be interested in becoming one of their featured artists for 2010 - of course to which I said YES!! I will have work on the online shop and the featured profile online will lead people to my personal portfolio directly. Its great to get work into England based galleries and boutiques now. I will keep you posted on when the profile is fully up and running.

Fairy Tales Exhibition at Che Camille

More exciting news!! I am to be in a narrative jewellery exhibition under the theme of "Fairy Tales" which is launching on Thursday 30th July 2009. It is with a group of about 15 other jewellers, all assigned a different fairy tale to work with. We are to create one exhibition show piece along with a range of smaller more affordable pieces to be showcased for sale within Che Camille throughout August with the exhibition. As my pieces are double sided I have chosen to work with the Hans Christen tale of Beauty and the Beast!! I think the double sided aspect of my perspex tiles will work well with the Good and Bad fairy tale characters and will create an exciting and playful contrast. As I also work with text a lot i am also hoping to find some pretty old versions of the story book to use the actual pages of text within my work. I am really excited about the theme now as i was previously not sure how to tackle the theme and still bring my use of line into the work- but with this brain storming i think i have cracked it and have already ordered my materials to get started!! Will keep you updated on the jewellery’s developments!!

Lemonart at The Lighthouse

The Lighthouse in Glasgow now stocks a large range of Lemonart!!! There are 30 lemonart pieces showcased as from the 15th June 2009. It is a very exciting prospect for me as an artist / designer with the Lighthouse being a main facility for architecture and design- and as I love lines of architecture plans, maps, town planning which I use in my artwork so often it seems fitting to be showcasing work there! Should be exciting!!! There’s a great range of pieces there, from necklaces, earrings, rings, hair bands and cufflinks so there's something for the guys there too! I always wanted to have a male orientated product within my range as I feel the images I work with are always very graphic, constructed and masculine so lemonart can work for guys too.

Even though it's only been a week since my last post there is lots to
inform you about!! All will be explained in more detail tomorrow but
as I'm blogging via the phone I'll give you a little snip bit!!
1. The Lighthouse in Glasgow is now stocking lemonart!!!
2. I have an exhibition based on Fairy Tales with a group of jewellers
coming up in Che Camille!!!
3. Yellow House Art are to list me as a Featured Artist throughout
their 2010 schedule!!!

All very exciting stuff which I will explain more tomorrow- including
a catch up on my exhibition work for Deconstruct/Reconstruct with the
Textile Art Forum!
