Finally ready to print the plate I’ve been working on these past few weeks. Full day printing, singing along to @mikainstagram with my new press running like a dream… really pleased, even if I do look so serious!😄 The wear and tear; restoration and care; the weathering and strains - boats in a yard. Such beautiful patterns and colours on these wooden hulls, quietly telling their stories. Evidently Newman is in my mind. Sketchbook explorations. Barnett Newman is one of my favourite artists and has been with me since my teens. Walking into the room @stedelijkmuseum and seeing ‘Cathedre’ 1951 slightly took my breath away. The richness, the tension and the presence is enormously powerful. Newman always delights. Perfection. The recent and current work displayed @stedelijkmuseum show such a range of exciting practices including El Anatsui’s enormous ‘In the World But Don’t Know The World’; James Beckett’s thought provoking work with particle board; Luna Maurer’s mesmerising graphics; Yinka Buutfeld’s textural rope & braid work; and the fascinating installation by Amy Suo Wo & Elaine W. Ho Visited the outstanding @stedelijkmuseum - Modern art that challenges, explores and celebrates. Earlier 20thC work here from Picasso, Malevich, Chagall, De Kooning, Maria Helena Vieira De Silva Not unsurprisingly the @rijksmuseum has a wonderful collection of work from the Dutch Enlightenment (17thC / 18thC) which I find utterly captivating and influential. The extraordinary representation of light captured in everyday scenarios. Absolutely thrilled to visit the Vermeer Exhibition @rijksmuseum An extraordinary opportunity to see 28 of the 37 known paintings by the 17th century master - potentially unlikely not to occur again for decades. I’ve been working on this plate for a while .. and there’s a while to go yet I think, but almost there. I’ll know when it feels ‘right’.
