Emily's work for EXHIBIT//EXHIBIT

Morphology 1-12 (detail) - Monoprints - Emily Rumney - 2012

New work for EXHIBIT//EXHIBIT

Our talented crew of twelve team mates from the Museum are currently exhibited at David Lloyd's Gallery (see details below).

This is the piece I'm showing...

Bloodlines Diptych - Drypoint on canvas/Mixed media - Steph Chalmers - 2012

I worked from a stunning portrait of my paternal grandmother to create this diptych. I haven't managed to capture her, but somehow that becomes part of the work. She's always been an enigma to me.
In the drypoint (left) her face looks off kilter as it's a mirror-image.
The red piece is a pin and thread drawing, and even though it's abstracted, it looks more like her.

There must be more of a resemblance between us than I thought because many people at the exhibition opening assumed that it was a self-portrait.

Studio Progress

Intaglio Printmaking Press - made by my uncle Martin

We had expert help to help move our press into the studio - thanks so much Marty.

We're still building and organising storage. Emily's framing moulding will soon be off the floor and safely housed in an upright store infront of the small wall on the left side.
