Sky and Sea.
For an upcoming exhibition at Cavendish Bar in Manchester, as part of Creative Transit, I took some photos for part of my work. The photos I took were of the sea and sky, and were for the background of my paper cut-outs I would be exhibiting in small frames. I think the white paper would look great against a sky blue and the colour would seem reminiscent of past holidays and sunny days, tying in with the theme of tourist maps and souvenirs.

Mr. Magpie.
A new online gallery dedicated to the art of drawing has a different theme each month, which anyone can enter, for the chance to be exhibited on the website. Little Strokes Gallery had its first annual ink exhibition in April this year which I entered, and my work was shown for the exhibit.

I love birds and I have always enjoyed drawing with black fine liner pens so I chose to draw a magpie, specifically for the exhibition, as the image would be in black ink on white paper.
As well as now being on the Little Strokes Gallery website forever more, (under past exhibits) Mr. Magpie also was spotted by The Hare Newspaper and can be seen in Issue 20.

Arnaldo Pomodoro in Dublin.
In April I went on a short trip to Dublin. Whilst there we stumbled across a sculpture within the Trinity College campus. It was by Arnaldo Pomodoro, an Italian sculptor whose work I also saw at last year's Sotheby's exhibition at Chatsworth House. The sculpture at Trinity was one of many 'Sphere Within Sphere' sculptures which are dotted around the globe. Unlike 'Cubo I' at Chatsworth', 'Sphere Within Sphere' is a kinetic sculpture, designed like this possibly because of it's spherical shape, which is easier to move than solid cuboid shapes.
