Art Room: Experimenting with colours

An experiment with colours on a hare collograph at ucs

REFLECTING on past two Exhibitions with WLT....................

Having now compleated works for two successive exhibitions Birds and Bees in

Feb / March and Hares March/April there is a need to take time and reflect on how I felt the

time spent focusing on producing the works has gone so far.

Up until this juncture at the present moment i have been able to produce work in conjunction with the

Trusts monthly exhibitions I have been able to stay true to what was set out in my proposal working with
a varied range of mediums within the disciplines of printmaking and painting and focusing on producing
work in connection with the Trusts Themes . However the contextualising of my works so far with the
Trust has not been as strong as it could have been although in my Presentation i did focus on various
artists who had inspired and informed me this was mainly based on their technical abilities rather than any
conceptual ideas basicly it was nature inspired and nature driven artwork that focused more on sellable
imagery which is what myself and the Trust had agreed on and I was VERY happy to
do this as I saw the work I produced as a means and a tool to support the work of WLT .
Reasearching and learning . My time also involved invigilating has been good experience and has been
insightful
the Trust has been an inspiration and has helped to inform me of the plight of indigenous people in

the countries WLT supports, this is a positive outcome.

WHERE NEXT !!!!**********************

RESEARCHING..........................continuing to collect information based on the next phase of my time

in collaboration with WLT I will now focus on looking at the plight of the indiginous peoples where there
has been deforestation so far i have been using my time at the trust to research on this subject and have
read about Chico Mendes from Brazil and the plight of the Rubbertappers in Brasil in the 1980s having
spoken to John I am currently researching Frans Krajcberg a polish by birth artist who became a
Brazilian Citizen due to leaving Poland after the 2nd world war his family all perished .
Frans has a real passion about saving the rainforests in Brazil and has spent his life protesting against
deforestation he has done many sculpures and is respected greatly for is work and stand against
deforestation see include you tube images of his work . I hope to focus my energies now into
contextualising my work in a deeper level over the next phase of my time at WLT
