Forthcoming event - January 2016 Exhibition at Pier Pavilion Penarth with Swansea and Cardiff Print Workshop. September - Solo Exhibition at Cloisters Gallery, St Davids Cathedral, Pembrokeshire
A Permanent Presence Paintings and original prints by Susan Edwards. The paintings and original prints in this exhibition are the result of my interest in Neolithic and Bronze Age Burial chambers and standing stones. I have visited a number of these ancient monuments while walking in Pembrokeshire with my husband over the last few years and have made drawings which have been developed in the work in this exhibition. Some of the cromlechs are well known such as Pentre Ifan and Carreg Samson, others almost forgotten and are in remote sites that are difficult to reach. It has been a fascinating project for both of us. We have had some lovely walks to areas that most people do not visit. I find it fascinating to think that Pembrokeshire must have been well populated by Neolithic people who were the first to settle and start to farm the land. There are so many of these sites and most of them are still standing. I have not been able to visit all the sites so it will be something to continue in the future. To help us with our exploration of these sites we have looked at books written by George Nash, George Children and Christopher Thompson Barker There about 50 pictures in the exhibition, some are different views of the same monument. I have used different media, oils, acrylics, mixed media, collagraphs and etchings. __________________________________________________________________________________________________Recent Exhibitions with VOGA 2015 Artists in Residence in Dyffryn Gardens 2013/2014 Art central, Barry.
