Primary research #1

 Barbara Hepworth, Winter Solstice, 1970
Screen Printed on to paper, I have worked with screen printing in the passed, though it is fun, it is quite difficult to keep the paint from combining if you do not have patience.





 Bernard Meadows, Crab, 1980
Bronze sculpture, Donated by Eric and Jean Cass through the contemporary Art Society, 2012.

The Crab sculptures were inspired by war-time services with the Royal Air Force(it could have also been inspired by the cold war many British artists had already been making sculptures of injured creatures as their responses), on the cocos Islands he became fascinated by the different animals and behaviours of Crabs, even witnessing the annual migration of tens of thousands of red crabs.
