MEMENTO 2

DESCRIPTION:
 This relief wall mosaic was first shown in the exhibition: Kirkcudbright Modern Makers at Kirkcudbright Galleries in 2019, and subsequently on the online (Lockdown replacement) exhibition of BAMM work: Between the Lines,which was to have shown at The Christopher Boyd Gallery, Old Gala House, Galashiels in March 2020. It is a thumbnail impression of a space where time and memory meet, often unidentified, a fusion of fact and fiction, which nether less seems ultra real in our consciousness.


SUPERPLUME

DESCRIPTION:
This wall mosaic was originally made as one of a set of three hand-painted mosaics for the exhibition celebrating the International Year of Planet Earth at Opus Mosaic Gallery in Exeter, in 2008. Earth, Fire and Water were represented, and Superplume has the strength of intensity of colour and textural depth that describes the rage and energy of that phenomenon. It has also been shown at several venues including the Reghed Centre in Cumbria.
