Sabbatical screenprints

Last November, finding myself with no commissioned work to speak of 

for the first time in several decades, I decided to experiment with different 

print techniques at the lovely A14 in Milan. Beatrice and Mira at EastWestPrint 

now have some of my screenprints available in their online shop, along with 

lots of other interesting things - do go and have a look!

Not a collection of jugs

    An old friend asked me if I was hoarding, don't be silly, I answered, I'm ready to do lots of pouring, and in great style with these jugs and others that I do not possess. 'Another Jug' prints and originals are on show at the moment in Udine at Temporary/Permanent, a delightful little gallery run by Toni Casula and Giovanna Durì. Do go along and have a look if you're in the area. 

    Un vecchio amico mi ha chiesto se stavo accumulando brocche in modo compulsivo, ma no, che sciocco, ho risposto, mi sto preparando per poter versare molto, e a questo punto sono pronta, in grande stile con queste brocche ed altre che per ora non possiedo. Potere vedere 'Another Jug' stampe e originali in questi giorni a Udine, nella deliziosa galleria Temporary/Permanent, gestita da Toni Casula e Giovanna Durì. Fate un salto a trovargli se siete in zona.

Back from Bologna/Rientrata da Bologna

And as from today, my jug prints are hanging in a charming flat in the Brera district here in Milan which is available on airbnb, here.
Inoltre da oggi le mie brocche sono appese in un'appartamento delizioso qua a Milano, in zona Brera ed è affitabile trammite airbnb; ecco il link!

Lovely surprise meeting up with Silvana in Bologna! My whole jug project started from a Christmas card we did together in 2009. See her wonderful work here. 
Bella sorpresa incontrare Silvana a Bologna! Il progetto delle brocche nasce da un biglietto di natale che abbiamo fatto insieme nel 2009. Ecco il suo sito per vedere i suoi bellissimi lavori.

Back from Bologna yesterday evening and as usual it was good to put work on the wall, meet new people, chat about it, in this case eat some wonderful fish and spend time in a new city. It's very time consuming and tiring too, but many thanks to Banco 32 for their hospitality, to Colin for coming all the way from Hexham and all the friends who visited. Here are a few photos, more from the pro on the way!
Thanks as well to the online magazine Bologna cult for their article which you can read here.
Rientrata da Bologna ieri sera e come al solito era bello vedere il nostro lavoro appeso al muro, incontrare persone nuove, chiacchierare, in questo caso assaggiare dell'ottimo pesce e passare del tempo in una nuova città. Ci vuole molto tempo ed è molto stancante, ma ringrazio Banco 32 per le loro ospitalità, Colin per essere venuto da Hexham, e tutti gli amici che hanno visitato la mostra. Ecco qualche foto e a tra poco con quelle dal professionista!
Grazie alla rivista online Bologna Cult, ne parla qua.
