[artwork/collage]today [sunday] is the last day of the ARTWORKS Exhibition. the exhibition closes at 5pm. sold work will be taken down from 3pm to enable time to wrap work ready for the buyers to collect. the small construction pictured above - arkadia III - is in this exhibition. the photograph gives an indication of its diminutive size [easy to miss]. this exhibition is not curated. we each draw a 'space'. the layout and flow of the exhibition changes each year and any connection between the artists' work is serendipitous.

one hundred square feet : project/exhibition
100 square feet: my story... there were two versions. summarised over nine photographs:[in the beginning]the start of one hundred and one monoprints on white paper, utilising the raised grain of the wood panel. long days in heat of the summer. pastel shades.staying in the shade, pale and interesting, printing and painting in a north-facing room.the stained and patinated wood panel at the end of the day.another day, start all over again... on black paper.blockwork. brickwork. fieldwork. combining, harvesting. squares within squares. a limited palette of black, red and gold (with some white).back to the wooden panel, the palette du jour.stacked, signed and numbered: 101 square paintings for the exhibition's box sets.the surface of the palette as a work of art: paint it black, 15cm frame, 10cm window, gold leaf, hinge...composition gold leaf on the reverse (or front) of the wooden panel; it's an icon. add a d-ring fixture to hang it on the wall.it hangs at a angle with weight of the frame on one side, and protrudes from the wall due to chiselled edge, with the intention that the gold leaf will subtly reflect back onto the white wall.i have titled it black square 2016. my work is done.[the end]100 Square Feet: A collaborative art project organised and curated by Paul Cope with Joanna Barfield, celebrating 50 Years of Art at the Halesworth Gallery 1966-2016.One hundred artists were each given a square piece of wood to utilise as they wished to create a work of art for the planned exhibition.
