Here’s another long term work in progress projec Here’s another long term work in progress project, this time from Easterly Artist Geoff Litchfield. 

After finding an old Victorian or Edwardian photo album , he decided to make collages in it using old imagery. 
It’s going to take quite a while to complete , especially as the binding needs some work too. Unsurprising really, given its age ! I wonder how many people have clicked through the album over the years ? 

Shown here are some pages that are completed , and the cover - there are still many more to do.

Generally speaking , works in progress often happen alongside other work, with other projects on the go at the same time .

Artists get inspirations from all sorts of unlikel Artists get inspirations from all sorts of unlikely places …

When the Easterly Artists were invited to @laurenceedwards.bronze foundry just before Christmas, we were given splashes from the bronze pour. @allyzawadzki immediately saw that hers resembled a horse - so with a mix of acrylics and collage, it is now going to be a large series for her. Her cement based work will take a back seat for a little while . 

Have you found inspiration in places you didn’t expect ?

Laurence very kindly invited the Easterly Artists to come and witness this pouring , as well as a tour of his foundry in Halesworth . 

It was a remarkable and fabulous afternoon , everyone who went was buzzing with creative ideas for days afterwards ! It was a truly inspirational visit , thank you so much @laurenceedwards.bronze . After sharing an exhibition space with him in the summer , it was an honour to be invited to where the magic happens last week. 
 
Thanks to @miles_b999 for the 📷

Geoff Litchfield’s ‘Flight Plans’ Some time Geoff Litchfield’s ‘Flight Plans’

Some time ago , Geoff was looking through book shop and charity shop offerings (as a lot of paper collagists do) , and struck gold. His find was a Victorian sepia print portfolio of the Tivoli Gardens in Italy, costing him the grand total of £3! 

What followed was an intense period of work spanning two years , in which Geoff produced 48 reworking of the book’s images .

Starting out as an analogue series , Geoff later scanned his work and created a digital / hybrid second series . According to Geoff , some of the work is ‘grim in tone’. 

Flight Plans is taken from the second series and the archival print (currently showing at the Mayfly in Lowestoft, as part of the Easterly Artist’s Christmas Fayre pop-up exhibition). Swipe  to see it , top right in the photo.

  Open until 13th December

Behind every exhibition there is so much work that Behind every exhibition there is so much work that is mainly unseen . From the planning of the event & liaising with the owner of the premises, each artist choosing their works to submit , to a hanging committee, arranging  a team of invigilators , the social media updates , and very importantly , arranging the private view ! (It’s called a private view but mostly these days they are  open to anyone who’d like to come ). 

So here are a just a dew pictures taken on Monday , you can see the hanging committee doing the important job of choosing where to hang each piece of work , and then actually doing it . It’s a long job , and those doing it are very well practiced in knowing what will work where , what pieces work together etc .

Don’t worry , there are more photos to follow , but in the meantime here’s a reminder that you’re all open to the PV THIS THURSDAY:

The Mayfly, 
72 High St, Lowestoft
NR32 1XN
Thursday 4 December 5pm - 8pm
