Bones cabin and friends

EXPO!

Friday 23rd - Sunday 25th September 2022

This'll be the second show, sculpture and that, at Bones Cabin, well, for me, at any rate, goodness knows what's happened here in the past, there's been some sort of shepherds hut here since forever ago, and who knows what went on then, way back when

This show's special of course, on account of the refreshments

A range of teas, home made cakes & soft drinks will be available for a donation or for free and there are places to picnic too. The garden itself is on the very edge of The Black mountains National Park, nestled as it is in the shelter of Pen y Begwyn. Just a step or so to the ice cream van under Hay Bluff! 

Tea and cakes 

and ices too!

The works themselve are set in the garden below the cabin and comprise my own stuff and that of some friends of mine

My new work builds on the work presented at last years do in 21 and I hope that it continues to explore the potential of eco art, or whatever its called, art with an ecological heart, art that seeks to understand humanities place in nature

 

 

The above is one of the new pieces, Weather Vane Angel, at about two and a half metres, and made mainly from found objects, including the top of an old telegraph pole, a devon shovel, and one of those old school chairs with the bottom shaped indentation on the seat part

Here's a detail shot from the workshop

 

 

The halo's in copper cable. A lot of the other metal work's in roughly flattened & thoroughly venerable corrugated tin, or Corrie, as we used to call it, what they call Wrinklytin around here. The ear ring is, of course, an ol bedspring, and the ring finger ring is a drawer pull from a very rococco sideboard

 

A Little Bird Told Me, 

 

 

this is a detail shot of one of Mick Morgan's larger clay forms. I'm guessing the piece stands at about a metre sixty five, and, as a piece of work, well, for me anyway, sits neatly somewhere in between form and function, an offers insights into all sorts of things, not least, maybe, into the whimsey & beauty of uselessness. A lot of Mick's forms are a sort of antidote to the prosaic, combining a beautiful & figuratve uselessness with a hint of function, that can, in the right context, continually intrigue

There'll be other stuff too, along with mine and Micks', other artworks set around and about and in the cabin too

Please save the date: 23rd -25th September, 2022

Teas, Cakes, Ices!

an some art works too, including a couple of lifesize automata, all set in a tumbledown Alderwood, a stones throw or two from the ice cream man at Hay Bluff!
