Rosalie Wyatt explains...
"Journeys are in time as well as space, not static destinations but a process.  it has been fun unwrapping this idea and working towards the Ashtorre exhibition.  After some blind alleys i chose two important journeys I'd made, one routine and the other an adventure of a lifetime, still vivid after 48 years. Other images relate to other people's searches, and a dream."
Chris Waring...
"Making works concerned with 'Journey' was always going to be either too restrictive or too free. I chose, like most people I think, to be very free and wide with my work. At first I made drawings and prints in stark black and white concerned with the landing of a small machine called "Philae" on a comet 300 million miles away. Just about the longest journey one could think of. They were fun to do but ultimately unsatisfying.
So to give myself more scope I fell back on making work that could be associated with a journey but were really about my own experimental journey into making images that pleased me. That gave me scope to do anything that I fancied on a whim. Painting, printing and drawing as the mood took me."
Steph Norgaard...
"Working very hard in the workshop.  Trying to put down ideas that bubble into my mind.....The starting point was an exciting title.  
I used to paint but then stopped after some harsh critic at art college.  So my journey is to pick up the paint brushes and explore the medium again."

Bishop Cornish and Burraton schools join us

1/1/2015

 
In order to widen the scope of this year's Ashtorre Artists Summer Exhibition, it was decided to devote two screens for community use and invite local primary schools to join us in exploring the theme of 'Journey'.

We received an enthusiastic response from Bishop Cornish and Burraton schools who have a section devoted to their artwork. At the invitation of Burraton School, two of the artists visited classes there to talk about how a professional artist would approach a subject and explore it as they worked to produce final pieces to exhibit. 

The artists showed original drawings and sketchbooks and enthused the children to develop their ideas and produce a wealth of exciting artworks. The classes involved represent the oldest and youngest pupils so we should have an interesting variety of drawings and paintings on display in the main gallery space upstairs at Ashtorre Rock.

We hope the children will bring their families to see their creations during the holidays.
