Hi folks. Sorry to say I have been ridiculously busy all summer as that’s our frantic time of year, (art holiday business). I then forgot entirely about the Shadows theme and woke up in a panic Saturday night. So I’m cheating and submitting an image of a piece of work I made a couple of years ago, but which is entirely bang on theme. The shapes were taken from photos of shadows in Inverness, and the final piece has three layers – perspex, muslin and waxed paper, each with solid, stitched  and printed motifs. The layers are fixed within a frame made of found timber, and it sits in front of my living room window – the idea being that as the sun moves round the house different motifs appear in focus. It’s about 70 cm wide by 90 cms high and 15 cm deep. Promise I’ll get back on track for next time!

  • I like the sound of that – the idea of the sun creating new shadows and images as the day progresses. As always with your pieces I’m sad that I can’t see it for real. It sounds as if there is lots of detail to interest the viewer.
    Glad to hear that your business has not been hit by the financial crisis and that you have been busy with it.
