Ex Terra Opes - at the Tarpey Gallery Autumn 2011

This has been set up to record the origination and creation of a body of new art works that I made between September 2010 and the summer of 2011 for an exhibition at the Tarpey Gallery in Castle Donington (opened 16th July).

Off and running


Just about to go and collect the work from the studio and deliver to the gallery...hopefully all will be at least touch dry! The genesis of this project goes back quite a way... some earlier pictures, not of uniform size and on board, with significant amounts of collage and yet based on the notion of each representing a location nearby were started in the early 00's. The picture above was taken in the Art School at Derby where 4 or 5 of these earlier pictures were exhibited around 2004 or 5.

My decision to exhibit the photo/text pieces as postcards in traditional postcard racks creates quite a bit of additional wall space in the show. I'm tempted to dig out some of this earlier series as a counterpoint to those on display in the larger room. We'll see how it goes in the gallery...
