Hedgerow Drawing - Red Leaf
Mixed Media on Paper
30cm x 20cm
The exhibition was wonderfully curated with shelves full of brambles and oak leaves from Charlotte's studio. There were also blocks, that looked like plaster impressed with leaves and twigs. I was lucky enough to talk to her on the last day of the exhibition, Saturday 20th June. one thing that intrigued me as an artist was the use of magnets to hang some of the unframed pieces. The magnets and washers came from a company called first4magnets.com. The verdict is still out as to whether these effect the pictures as the have a fairly strong magnetic force. She said that initially she bought some that had a 4kg force on them which was far too strong. The framed pieces were all done framed by James Edger of Artmill. Some of the delicate screenprints were framed in a thin oak frame which suited the subject perfectly.

My favourite of all are the black screenprints because of the wonderful textures she gets and the dragged effect of the paint. The plants form a wonderful silhouette (even if they do play havoc with screens which I think have been ripped several times. These were often framed in simple black.

I would gladly have several of her pieces on my walls if I could but at the moment I have neither the money......... or any free wall space. A beautiful exhibition.
