This month Edward has included the drawing itself inside the Chapel as an invitation for the viewer to observe where the artist is looking in the Chapel and then how he is depicting it.

There was a clear bright light inside the Chapel as I entered it this morning. The sunlight was pouring in through the Eastern windows, whilst the outside of the Northern window was covered in scaffolding equipment.

Large parts of the drawing was heavily ...
My studio doors were open in June for North Devon’s Art Trek. The deterring weather didn’t stop people visiting the hay loft studio with over 20 visitor in all. They were able to take a look at the most recent paintings I made from the Braunton Burrows Walk and views across Codden Hill in North Devon. The public were also shown my current project, the ...
The course of the five months I have been looking into the structure and layout of the different rooms in the Chapel and have decided to now focus on just one location that will be added to each month. What I envisage the drawing to become is a history of left marks on the paper as the room changes and becomes renovated into a light and spacious area. I have ...
