FROM DARKNESS INTO LIGHT
15th September 2018 - 20th Feb 2019
On 15.9.2018, to commemorate THE END OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR we had a wonderful Gala Day in Littleover, Derby, on the Village Green and in the Church Hall. I had planned a project for 2 large artworks involving members of the visiting public.
Willing participants were encouraged to colour bird shaped paper cut- outs provided by me. Each completed colourful bird was to be temporarily fixed on to the big canvases for display. Later, I would fix them permanently on to the canvases in my studio deciding on the final composition. The envisaged result would be a diptych measuring 1.5 x 1 meter (each canvas).
The completed diptych ‘FROM DARKNESS INTO LIGHT’ can be seen until 20th Feb 2019 in St. Peter’s Church. It has been there since 6th October 2018. It is envisaged for it to be shown some time early next year in the Church Hall in Littleover, near the White Swan Pub.
Each canvas measures 1.5 meter by 1 meter
