Under the blue Cornish skies: a moving exhibition
July 2021Antagonist, 35 mm photography Polpeor Cove, Lizard lifeboat station
In the summer 2021 five of my paintings travelled around the Cornish landscape and were displayed in various locations. From the Lizard to Launceston, on the edge of a cliff and on water, I photographed the works embedded in the environment.
This body of work has two lives, in the completion of paintngs and later in the shape of a moving exhibition.

Heavy feeling of a moggy day
wettened the earth
Clouded skies
As if time had posed on a moment of History, tip of the country
Antagonist sets foot in the sand of a sea that sees no end
Waves, push and pool towards the bearings of the oceans
No such place as to have a cup of tea
Filling the pot
Half empty car park
At the Tate in St Ives
An addition
Take it or leave it
Have you seen this boat?
It is known to be a ferry
A very small one as such,
It carries Silver Linings from one coast to another
The ghost of a long-gone sailor
Left at shore in a muddy port
Dwelling on the hope for mussels missed
Rouge et Noir, warms the day as the sun sets
Sinking faster than the night
Entering green lands
Eating grass
Dangerous
Road worthy
