The Steel Rooms
Brigg
Lincolnshire
Exhibition by Biddy Hodgkinson and Jane Galvin.
The lovely space absorbed all the work that we both brought, so beautifully.
I find it really interesting seeing my work out of context - not in my studio. I look at it all with a fresh, more discerning eye.
The small abstracts were very effective when grouped together.
Close up of the toucan - wonder who can remember the Guiness adverts of the 1950's?
This wall does rather show evidence of an obsession with parrot tulips - but they are particularly gorgeous.
Biddy and I had the chance to put our work next to each other here in a quite spectacular way I think. Each piece curiously complemented the other.
This view illustrates the way the gallery is set out. The movable blocks make it very versatile.
A piece of Biddy's work which I suspect is a lot more controlled than one might think. Her large pieces have tremendous impact and have often developed from unusual starting points which makes them extremely interesting.
I was very pleased with the way my poppy glowed down the gallery.
Goodness - more tulips!!!
How I wish I could develop the knack of being comfortable
and natural in front of a camera....
And thank you to Julie and all at
The Steel Rooms
for making this a pretty painless exercise.
