I wish I could've been there.<br />

I bet there is a great Christmas Market at the moment too. Boo.<br />

Chris wrote a lovely <a href="http://blog.rowleygallery.co.uk/tree-of-life-other-stories/#more-47339">post</a> about it and I'm stealing his pictures to post them here.<br />
<br />
I made especially for them a bunch of porcelain plaques that relate to my Georgian and Regency figurines. They seemed to be very well received so far by the respectable neighbours of Kensington.<br />

One of my Trees of Life has been selected to be part of an exhibition of candlesticks at the <a href="http://www.kulturviertel-deggendorf.de/index.php?id=509&no_cache=1&s=0CF9C0EF08A277AD93CEF8C9E1D08947811C83E1">Handwerkmuseum</a> in Deggendorf.<br />
The exhibition is in December, so I will be posting about it.<br />
<br />
I've been making these Trees for a few months, inspired, of course, on the Trees of Life that are made in Puebla and in Metepec, Mexico. Mine are a hybrid as I don't make them in terracota, but in porcelain, and I've removed any catholic, biblical imagery and fill them with the worries and objects that surround our lives.<br />

I've started with these two guys.

Clarissa Moura and Abril Castillo are supporting a campaign of Amnesty International with an exhibition and a series of workshops and performances gathering 90 women, artists, musicians and writers from all over Iberoamerica.<br />
<br />
I am taking part in the exhibition that you can see at the Centro Cultural EspaƱa right in the center of Mexico city. Here is the <a href="http://ccemx.org/exposiciones/vivan-las-mujeres">LINK</a> for you to visit the exhibition, see the concerts or to participate in the workshops.<br />

<br />
Gill was definitely mad, there is no excuse for what he did to his daughters, other female relatives and his dog, he would be in jail if he was alive now, and the Museum knowing this prepare the exhibition open to discuss and receive any feedback about our feelings. Because the crazy guy was also an amazing artist and craftsman.<br />
<br />
I have always loved his work. I always use his fonts in any document or design I do, I've spent a fortune collecting Gill type and books of his engravings. I spent hours looking in detail at his sculptures and marvel at the softness of the trace of his drawings etc. I really like him. So I confess I was a bit scared to go to the exhibition. Would I end up hating him? Would knowing more creepy details of his creepiness affect my love for his work?<br />
<br />
I confess I forgot about it right away. I ended up again just staring for ages at his sculptures, prints and drawings.<br />

But I had terrible insomnia the night before and couldn't manage. I was going to! honest.<br />
<br />
There is always next year, but I really wanted to make a print about the dancers and most especially in the company of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorset_Ooser">Ooser</a>, a Dorset giant whose work in the past was to humiliate villagers who have been naughty. So, to my annoyance I had to resource to the help of images in the internet.<br />

III had the honour to be invited along with a bunch of other wood engravers to the Prints and Drawings Study Room at the British Museum and have a look and talk about the <a href="http://www.sussex.ac.uk/english/dalziel/dalziel-online-catalogue/">Dalziel Archive</a>, a collection of thousands of Victorian wood engravings.<br />
<br />
It was fascinating to see this prints in the flesh and hear what my colleagues and the curator had to observe and tell about the work we had in front of us, to compare it with our contemporary practice and to hear what the lady who is in charge of the project had to tell us of her discoveries and knowledge of the collection.<br />
<br />
To be in that very special room where thousands and thousands of historic prints are drawing are kept was fascinating enough and the general merriment made the day go very quick.<br />
<br />
You can see the collection online. It's been scanned and catalogued and can be seen <a href="http://www.britishmuseum.org/research/collection_online/search.aspx?searchText=%22university+of+sussex%22">HERE</a>.<br />
<br />
Or if you have an Alice in Wonderland copy with the victorian illustrations you will see in a corner of the image the Dalziel name along with Tenniel's.<br />

But still I've managed to keep printing and making my ceramic figurines and generally keeping the galleries well stocked.<br />
<br />
I've also turned my attention to more 3D mediums. I got this crave to learn stone masonry, having the Purbeck quarries so close and several places where to learn, but for some reason I signed up to wood carving first. I guess I thought it was a gentler way to get into sculpture.<br />
<br />
Thus I've been looking and been inspired by loads of artists. I didn't know for example that Alexander Calder had done wood sculpture:<br />

It's official. My work is hung at the Royal West of England Academy <a href="http://www.rwa.org.uk/whats-on/164-annual-open-exhibition">Annual Open Exhibiton</a>.<br />
<br />
The exhibition runs from the 9 October up to the 27 of November in Bristol, which is a really cool town.<br />
<br />
I'm so glad this is been selected. It's a technique I really want to develop more. For a while I've been wanting to combine my wood engravings with ceramics.<br />

<br />
The deadline was very tight so I had to discard many big scale ideas like these bathrooms that my beloved Steinberg illustrated:<br />

So with the limitations I had I decided to make a set of tiles with the Story of Sami the Conqueror -or the Battle of Chaldon-, back in the year of the Lord 1066 came to conquer and became the monarch of Chaldon.<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After our very successful first Open Studio at the Dorset Art Weeks, I only had time to pack and go as Artist in Residence in Bild-Werk Frauenau where I spent a wonderful month in the company of my old friends and where I met some other artists and crazy people, all full of energy. I am so grateful for the invitation. I see my life now as before and after Bild-Werk. What a place!</div>

My friend Vera and I had the whole printing studio to ourselves. She was on fire printing non-stop, but for me, the process is slower. It took me two weeks to start actually making something worth to be hang on the walls.<br />

My idea this year was to dedicate most of the time to create artists books and I did manage to make three with very short editions. I put one of them in the auction at the end of the session and it sold really well.</div>

Now back in the studio at home I have to fight hard to keep the magic going. When Erwin Eisch welcomed us to this wonderful school he created he advised us to be free, to keep the hands connected to the heart. That should be my motto from now on. </div>
<div>
And my heart is in Bild-Werk.</div>

What the hell? it seems that blogger has finally decided to allow me updating my blog in my old computer.<br />
Just as well. I have some terribly important announcements and past events to talk about.<br />
<br />
Announcements first:<br />
<br />
I have been invited to take part in the Great Print Exhibition at the Reghed Centre in Cumbria. It's a big and long exhibition starting on the 25th of November up until the 26th of February. So you have plenty of time to organise yourself and come up north, if you are not there already.<br />
<br />
I may also be an Artist in Residence there, working with their magnificent Albion and creating a series of prints to show the public about the printing process. I'll keep you inform.<br />
<br />
I shall be presenting a new collection of prints I've been working on. Big ones. I sometimes need some variety so I've been resting the wrist from wood engraving and allowing my arm to work on a wider movement.<br />
<br />

Also one of the porcelain wood engravings I've been working on was pre-selected at the Royal West of England Academy for the 164 Annual Exhibition, which pleases me greatly. It will please me even more if it gets to be hanged. I shall then be invited in golden letters to attend the varnishing ceremony and all that. Fingers crossed. I'll keep you posted.</div>

The songs in the album form a story about a futurist cyber detective Nathan Adler who is investigating a series of artistic crimes. I remember that around that time Ron Athey, one of the artists featured in these stories came to Mexico city and we saw the performance which was both terribly gore and fascinating.<br />
<br />
I was told that Bowie was very pleased with both the campaign for the release of his album and the comic and also that he requested to have the original drawing of the cover. I don't know if all this is true or that over the years I've made it up, but I like to think that one of my drawings was hanging on one of his walls (or at least resting on a drawer in his house).<br />
<br />
And now he is gone! I can't believe it. I love him and through all those years living in London I kept dreaming I would run into him in the streets and would tell him so like any annoying fan.<br />

<br />
I am utterly impressed by the apparently easy and relaxed way he worked on the wood to create images that look like ink drawings. Amazing. I have set up a challenge to try something like that on that beautiful piece of lemon wood that has been queuing to be used for quite some time.<br />

<br />
I chose to use some of the characters of a traditional Mexican pastorela, a play that recreates the biblical passage in which the shepherds are guided to Bethlehem and there are always angels, devils, sheep and funny situations.<br />
<br />
If you are in west London go and visit <a href="http://www.rowleygallery.com/Default.aspx">Rowley Gallery</a>, it's full of choices for your Christmas presents. The clock is ticking!<br />
