Today I helped hang the Picture Makers exhibition at the Morlan Centre in Aberystwyth. Heulwen Davies is curating this show with work by both professional and amateur artists living in the area.
Several of my 'micro' series are on display as well as one of my collage pieces. I had the thought that the micro pieces would be interesting as 'One Hundred Views Of...', following the Japanese printmakers Hiroshige and Hokusai. Or what about one thousand? I wonder how it would progress between the first and the last...maybe I'll give it a go.
Also I'm thinking about scaling up the process and materials to make large pieces in this manner, though I imagine it would be difficult to achieve. One thing I have rediscovered is that it is simpler to work with a limited palette (which is quite possibly why I tend not to most of the time!), and this seems appropriate for the subject matter of remembered winter landscapes.

Love the dominoes! Would never have thought to use them for that application and create such an atmospheric piece. Will be watching out for more ideas in the future to stretch my own imagination.
