Living Letters Exhibition at Foyles

5/9/2013

0 Comments

 
One of the highlights of this year that I'm very much looking forward to is the "Living Letters V : Writing on the Edge" exhibition to be held at Foyles bookshop in London, which will run for almost the whole of October.  The gallery space was offered to the Calligraphy and Lettering Arts society (CLAS) to utilise before the bookshop moves next door in 2014 and so they wasted no time in inviting submissions.

The theme of the  exhibition is Literature and Poetry, which is pretty much the best and broadest subject that any calligrapher can wish for.  The possibilities are infinite!

I am so pleased and excited that one of my own pieces was accepted for inclusion and will hang  alongside some of the most talented calligraphers and Fellows of CLAS.  The evocative words are an extract from "The Stark Monro Letters" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and my interpretation is written in pencil and decorated with sumi ink, watercolour and a touch of pastel.
Rain, Julie Chaney, Words by Conan Doyle
Above is the complete piece entitled "Rain", measuring approx 470 x 200mm, and below, details of the body of lettering and the credit.

The exhibition runs from 2nd-30th October at Foyles Bookshop, Charing Cross Road, London.

    This is a little corner where I like to share my love of calligraphy & letterforms and my fascination with the tools, materials & methods used to create and display them.  I also love patterns and carved faces!
