I have been busy working in my studio at Bath Spa University, creating a felt response to my location, on a variety of surfaces. My use of materials needs to be specific for the same reason as my need to be very specific about colour.

Great work Clare
Have a look at Merlin James
Things have really moved on
Difficult to see only in digital ether of the internet
Looks like huge subtleties going on but I can’t tell on this little phone
I laughed about the lump of wood because I liked it and could see the relevance but smiled at the comments already received for the stuff on the floor
Oh boy how we try but the critics sneer either way because they know and we do not – or not
Funny how critics die but artists live on
Looking forward to your show
Go for it
Best wishes
