In My Mind's Eye/Witness - new work by Vivian Cockrill and Cheryl Crichton-Edwards
This new work in oil by Vivian Cockrill and charcoal, ink and chalk by Cheryl Crichton-Edwards is deeply rooted in the landscape .
Cheryl’s work is a direct and expressive response to the landscape and bears witness to the changing light and weather brought about by the deepening winter, our changing climate and a deepening horror at recent events.
Vivian’s work is an Evocation. She says
In my minds eye I see
The horizon, the sky, and colours of you
the land.
Shifting and turning,
Spread before me,
above me, below my feet.
So I come to rest
