Fringe MK Milton Keynes Annual Painting Prize
Posted by fiona on September 15, 2009

Finalist in the Milton Keynes Annual Painting Prize, 2009 with Veils of Memory
Gesso oil and charcoal on canvas, 180 x 120 cm.
René Descartes’ saying, ‘I think therefore I am’ has always intrigued me. Does it therefore follow: ‘I remember therefore I am’ and if so what is the reality the memory or the event?
This painting is a continuation of the work from the Transition Project at Exeter Castle and the Bargehouse London. It is a direct response to the dimensions, 180 x 120 centimetres, of a disused prison cell. It is a reflection on the human condition and the possibility of hope.

It is still January, just, and exciting things are beginning to happen. The Drawing Room II show at the RWA and Lineweight at TSU Art Gallery Missouri (see Links) are already open and I am working on a 300 x 450 cm drawing for Illusions of Space at The Brewhouse in May. Before this Transitions, (see Projects) will be at Rougemont Castle in March.
