Gallery

Jill very much enjoys creating work for exhibitions. The challenge, the focus, the discoveries and learnings are rewarding and necessary for her creative soul.

Each season in her gallery at Garden Studio 70 Jill presents a new collection of works. See Special Events Page for details of these exhibitions.

In the gallery you will delight in the creative range of her hand bound books, leather bags, jewellery and mixed media works on paper...

"THE VINES OF TIME"

Is the visual storytelling of the passing of time

I am a maker of gardens I feel the change of seasons intensely

I am an appreciator of vintage books I warm to this illustrative style

Vintage poetry too The words have grace

I am in awe of the structure of leaves Their purpose crucial to all

The leaves I forage give such descriptive line They overlay the writings

And their colour is a sensory backdrop to the stories I tell

When pressed they can become the main story Exquisite in form

Stitch lines are powerful connectors And subtle enhancers

Pattern makers on vines and shadings on clocks

Photographs can be where I start My garden a constant companion The source

The image Is always altered Filtered Abstracted

And then there is sequence This is what makes a story A book

And another book Which makes a series

Brooches.

Each of my brooches is stitched or wired one bead at a time, rhythmically and decisively. Each one evolves in the making and so is always original and definitely a one off. This ensures that the next one I make is a joyful new discovery!!
