Pleased to be exhibiting Etching/Aquatints in the Deceptions exhibition at the CornerHouse Arts Centre, Surbiton, opening May 10th till June 20th. Private View/Meet the Artist, Tomorrow Night Wednesday 13th May. 7-9pm.
Though deception has always been a theme of art and indeed, political life, the search for truth seems even more important than ever…One of my linocuts depicts Jael, a biblical character who deceived an invading general and murdered him with a tent peg.. The other image is an etching aquatint depicting Mrs Havers from the Hitchcock film, Rebecca, who deceives the innocent heroine into thinking the house was haunted but was herself deceived by the mistress that she worshipped.

Seoul surrounded by Mountains- everything digitally connected, open all hours, not quite real, like a city on a planet in a sci-fi movie..Late March/April. Blossom time in the city. Special time staying with Jude and Jess. Saw them perform their two different parts over four different nights in Sleep No More. Photos include Jess singing in the nightclub bar after the show.. Leeum Museum and Changdeokgung Palace.
Travelled to the island of Miyajima from Hiroshima, by Ferry. Passing the Otorii(Tori) 12th century Gate. Climbed through peaceful woods to the beautiful Buddhist shrine .The next morning took two cable cars to get to the summit before going down to the beach to look at the Gate close up. An amazing place.
Three days in Japan. In Hiroshima, visited the one building that survived the blast, it stands at the edge of Hiroshima’s Memorial Park. Nearby, the curved Cenotaph, and Peace Memorial Museum. Indescribable horror and melancholy of a city destroyed. Where tens of thousands of people were killed instantly, and over 300.000 died later from after effects.
The peace flame burns there, as a symbol of hope. To be extinguished when nuclear weapons are eliminated.

Announcing our first art exhibition for 2026!
VISUAL FICTIONS running from Jan 6th - Jan 31st
The twelve artists involved in the exhibition, were invited to respond to books, either as stories, or characters and writers that inspired them, or to use a wider interpretation to investigate them as forms, symbols, materials, and metaphors. Exploring Imagery, language and the mysticism of books, book covers, pages, typography and titles. The Book is both a physical artifact, a metaphor, a repository of memory, or a carrier of personal history. Mediums used include printmaking, sculpture, photography, text-based art, and mixed media.
The aim of the exhibition is to celebrate the book in all its wonderful forms—its materiality, its memories, and its myths. A place for readers, non-readers, and anyone who may have ever only judged a book by its cover.
This exhibition has been organised by Loraine Monk and Hanna Ten Doornkaat
