Whilst browsing through The Guardian Arts website last night I surprisingly came across my recent exhibition in their “This week’s exhibition previews” article! Channel is being shown as part of the Millais gallery’s offsite program. “The new exhibition focuses on the Channel, that notorious stretch of water between the city and France that has been an inspiration to cultural aesthetes over the ages. Contemporary artists including Andrew Cross, Susan Collins, Peter Collis and Rosie Maguire join forces to provide an idiosyncratic vision of this watery throroughfare” says The Guardian (see link: http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/2009/nov/07/art-exhibitions-previews-the-guide). I know my name isn’t in it but as Channel is my first exhibition post graduation I am quite excited about it! My first review!
I am currently developing some sketches in front of the warm fire and I’m also working on another new idea which I thought of whilst thinking about the lack of tourists who actually simply stop and look. I will post new images soon.
My application form for the open submission exhibition in The Forum, Norwich is in the post so fingers crossed! I am trying to apply to as many things as possible to get my name out there. I suppose The Guardian has helped a lot with that!
