Less than 3 months to go. Work is developing. The Bristol based group is closer to nature.

This work shows water, and land. Liz is working a series of woodcuts showin a stretch of water from dusk to dawn.

Anna is screen printing with mud collected from the River Avon.

Martine is taking a bird’s eye view of a coast line.

The only landscape available to me is the man made views of London. The Littoral Zone becomes something physical, and the ebb of flow the abstract notions of the arrival of people in to the city. Where as the flotsam of the river Avon in Bristol is mostly bicycles and shopping carts haf submerged in the rich mud, the flotsam of London is the debris of human aspirations. Some victories, then losses and in between just the ordinary dreams and private tragedies sinking in to the mud of time. The river Thames hold the physical remains of past ordinary lives in its grey mud of the Littoral Zone- a pipe head made of clay, coins and leather shoes of Romans and Victorians. The sight of these stir my memories and senses, to come alive in London as an artist while I hold the crisp, cold smell of the Swedish West coast’s water within my being while I bicycle past council buildings. The flotsam of city life pile up among the baby clothes drying on the balconies, where people struggle and dream as the debris of a media society flow in through the satellite dishes.Nature is only an image on a screen.

The Create Center in Bristol focuses on enviromental issues, clean rivers, recycling and the increasing problems of plastic debris.

Our work in the galley will reflect the ethos which concerns a clean enviroment. I hope a visti to its gallery will be a place of both contemplation and flow.
