8 months after returning from my incredible trip to the mind-blowing land of Ethiopia, I have finally emerged from the Art Cave, blinking in the bright April light. It's been an incredibly intense period, trying to distill the genuinely life-changing experience into a series of paintings; trying to develop ways of painting that can do some justice to my subject.
The purpose of this blog was to help me document my travels as I moved around Ethiopia last summer, and helps me begin the process of distilling my experiences. If you have not looked at it before, then it is a very simple website in diary-form, with the earliest entries the furthest back on the site, if you follow me.
Well, I have managed to produce a whole new body of work which will be exhibited in the Open Eye Gallery, Edinburgh, next week, from the 18th April until the 6th May. If you are able, drop by- it's a lovely gallery- and see what you think. (You can give give me some feedback by posting comments on this blog if you like!) Here's a wee taster of some details to tantalize you!
Once the exhibition's open to the public I'll upload full images of all the paintings here. Thanks for visiting.
beautiful. looking forward to seeing the paintings up close!
