Cornwall Museum and Art Gallery

13 Oct

We had a few hours in Truro between appointments today, 9 am and 12 noon, and visited the Museum and Art Gallery where there is a new exhibition I’ve been wanting to see, Art Any Way.

In the gallery was one of David Kemp’s Tinners’ Hounds, known affectionately as Welly Dog (See here for our very own Welly Dog), work by Terry Shaul, Julian Christophers (a favourite local artist) and many more. Enjoy this small selection from the gallery.

When we arrived there was a family sitting on bean bags and story telling going on in front of a very beautiful paper sculpture. Not wanting to take photos of strangers or disturb the scene to ask, here is the paper sculpture and I leave you to imagine the lovely scene we came across.

I wish I know the maker to credit here.

Gallery 89, Textiles and A Painting

25 Apr

Today we have bought our third piece from an exhibition in Gallery 89, a fabulous small gallery in Redruth with ever changing exhibitions.

I fell in love with a wonderful textile piece which is, as the artist Carolyn Young says herself,  made of –  “little bits: threads, fabrics, fibres, paper and found natural materials. Creating intuitively, I piece, knit, stick, felt, weave or stitch fragmented parts together to become whole.”  Sadly, it was both too big and too expensive to bring home.

The beautiful painting we did buy is Horizon by  Lizzie Moran and can be collected tomorrow – so I’ll show you tomorrow.
