Four East London artists - making an imprint.....leaving a trace
We’re a group of 4 East London artists (Clare Winter, Jane Roberts, Liz Byrne and Neil Lamont) who got to know each other doing printmaking classes with the Tower Hamlets Idea Store in Shadwell. We supported each other during the 2020/21 lockdowns by forming an online zoom art group.
We have continued to meet weekly online, providing encouragement, support and companionship, alongside quite a bit of laughter while we pursue our own individual art projects.
One thing we all have in common is printmaking - the Shadwell link - but also work in mixed media, pastel, paint and collage. Our work ranges from figuration to abstraction - and various points in between!
We’ve also included some text and a sketchbook by the fifth member of our zoom group - Filippa Dobson - who is based in West Yorkshire.
The title impressions has a broad and literal attachment to the act of printing There are also many other associations - to mark, trace or indicate, and also to memory, presence, belief etc - which allows us plenty of scope to separately interpret and apply it to the work we have chosen.
