This exhibit sees Carne Griffiths “live painting” on
the large hallway wall of 41 Jewel Road.
The painting will progress for the duration of the trail.
I always love a seeing a work in progress, especially
when it’s unplanned and develops organically. In this instance, Carne is
getting inspiration from “objects of curiosity” that people bring along. Their
presence influences the artist’s process and this is reflected into the work. Carne welcomes the distraction of people
coming and going: he sees it as more of an interaction, which is woven into his
creative stream.
When I saw the mural on Thursday, it was a tracery in
willow pattern blue. Entwined fantastical and studied botany, emerging with areas
of intense detail in falling space. I’m looking forward to seeing the final
transformation of this flat domestic area into a labyrinthine garden of earthly
delights.
