Materials Matter at MAKE Southwest, 4th December 2021 - 13th March 2022

It’s the last few days to catch this exhibition of 10 makers and artists from the Design - Nation Devon and Cornwall group. I am showing a recent series of assembled copper panels, layered with glass enamels to build translucence through several firings. Some contain partly hidden imagery of the stones of ancient sites in Cornwall and Wales. I have been thinking of the pages of illuminated manuscripts, held open in museums at one viewing page. A book can take us to a completely different place or landscape; an opening out of horizons beyond the structure of the page, where scale is changed.

Open Book, 28cm x 41cm, glass enamels, copper, photographic image.
