St. Mary's and the Pylon diptych.

Here's a photograph of my two paintings of St. Mary's church and the pylon. Summer 2011.
I guess you could call it a diptych.
I used household emulsion tester pots and therefore I was limited with my colour pallate.
DIPTYCH

The Screen on video.

Please watch this 4 minute film of ‘The Screen’ I have created from recycled cardboard and wood.

Dimensions: Height 1.44m: Width 2.44m

The reverse is painted with wood stain, protecting the cardboard and is currently free of any decoration. The screen is made from found objects, decorated by photos and colour prints. It can also be folded together and will free stand in many positions.

It has been decorated on the first panel with images of the gates of Crow Nest Park. On a rare sunny day, I noticed that the shadows made by the gates were unusual and I decided to record them. It is a photo montage of the gate posts taken from left and right vantage points.

Two of the other panels are decorated with images from the local environment creating a sense of place around The Calder and Hebble Navigation. These pictures represent a spring day with no leaves on the trees, I have seen the same trees in summer and the plastic is hidden by foliage.

The 4th panel has an astronomical theme created by the appliqué of found objects on black fabric and pinhole projection photography. Local churches are featured in The Screen, St Thomas’ in Batley and St Mary’s in Mirfield, contrasted by the architectural grandeur of electricity pylons.

A collection of works submitted for exhibition.

1. Crescent Mary.

A pencil sketch. Crescent moon, pylon, bridge and St Mary's church. There's a lot going on in this one. Ceri says it looks like a cell.

2. India Tower.

This geometric drawing is based upon the architectural features of a building. India Tower (previously known as Park Hyatt Tower) is a supertall skyscraper under construction in Mumbai, Maharashtra and will be one of the tallest and greenest buildings in India once completed.

3. Sketchbook #93.

Two images culled from my Farnham Art College Sketchbook 1993.

The first image is titled, 'Shop & Bin' and is based upon an urban facade with street furniture. Collage. The second collage is titled, 'The Swimming Pool Library.' Inspired by a novel by Alan Hollinghurst. Collage. I did a lot of swimming at the time.

4. The Spire of St Thomas.

A pencil sketch of the spire. A preliminary study for another work. Finished? The architects name eludes me.

5. Twin Towers.

A geometric study of the WTC Twin Towers and surrounding architectural features. Namely the 'trident'.

A Stone Circle and the Pylon.

Here is another image of a Pylon situated near a Stone Circle.

The circle of stones will not appear on any map because it is a modern landscape feature, with no historical significance. However, it is still a series of boulders set down in a circle.......

Check out St. Mary's on the horizon.
