My aim is to post regular, more up-to-date images of new work and forthcoming exhibition venues. It would be great for those of you who have purchased my work to send me images of how you have used the pieces in situ to compliment your own gardens....Diana Roleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06602098162130362880noreply@blogger.comBlogger83125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4003468460103054736.post-44240376066359465432019-05-22T11:28:00.000+01:002019-05-22T11:28:23.858+01:00Took three pieces to Beaulieu last week and placed them in the rose garden. They looked really nice and will be even better when the roses are in full bloom. On the other hand knowing roses they may just hide them!<br />

Definitely worth a visit. There are lots to do and see at Beaulieu besides the sculpture exhibition. The venue is in Brockenhurst in the New Forest so the area is quite beautiful too.</div>

Two thrills.<br />
<br />
Have also been working in my garden trying to bring it up to scratch. It is meant to enhance my pieces not hide them! It is all very enjoyable.<br />
Will return shortly with news of the next two exhibitions and perhaps some close up pictures of my garden.Diana Roleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06602098162130362880noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4003468460103054736.post-91001689379938218922019-04-05T11:28:00.002+01:002019-04-05T11:28:23.084+01:00It is now 5th April and I have two exhibitions underway.<br />

My last exhibition this year at Savill Gardens finishes at the beginning of November. After placing my pieces in three different areas in the garden we finally decided that under a very large tree was the most appropriate. It is very interesting how important it is to place them correctly. <br />

I won't be sorry to come to the end of the season. I had a hip replacement in July which really affected my life. Fortunately I had the most caring of 'carers' i.e.my husband and together we managed to do all the exhibitions that I was committed to.<br />
<br />
I have also still managed to produce new work this year despite the hip. Some of which still needs to be fired and others in the biscuit stage. It has always been difficult carrying my work down a flight of stairs - workshop on first floor, kiln in garden but this year particularly so!<br />

ApArt exhibition at Godalming opens today. The weather is horrid so I do hope all goes well for them and the weather is kinder during the exhibition. It will be the first time I have shown one of my new 'still lifes'. I really like them - hope other do too. This exhibition continues until the 14th April.<br />
My next exhibition this year is at Delamore Arts, Ivybridge in Devon. Quite a long way to go but it looks a lovely venue and I am looking forward to it. The exhibition is on every day during May.<br />
Next exhibition is at Birtley House at Bramley. I have shown here many times before but this time I have been involved in the actual designing of the sculpture trail which has been fun. 4th May - 28th May.<br />
I shall be taking some pieces to The Garden Gallery in Stockbridge again this year. I have exhibited there many times in the past but not for the last few years. I will be taking my piece that I had cast in bronze resin. It will be very interesting to see how it 'goes down'.<br />

Oh dear, the season is nearly over and I haven't even started this year's blog. Is it because I am just so busy or is it because I forgot or just <span style="text-align: center;">put it off?</span><br />
<br />
I have done five exhibitions this year:- AppArt, Birtley House, Fircoft (a new venue for me and really nice. A large early Victorian house with lovely over-run gardens at Albury Heath. Another new venue - Kiftsgate. Again a beautiful old house with lovely gardens named after the famous Kiftsgate rose. If it is anything like mine it is outrageous. This venue is situated on the edge of the Cotswolds escarpment. Finally Wisley accompanied with a few problems. Thieves got into the grounds at night (in fact twice) and stole some bronze sculptures. For the metal we think because they also stole some RHS equipment. Not nice and very upsetting for the sculptors that lost work.<br />
This year I decided to have one of my favourite pieces cast in resin. I thought it would be less vulnerable in resin than in ceramic stoneware. There were one or two problems with the casting but the final result was good.<br />
Also I have been concentrating on 'Still Life'. It is a subject which I have been meaning to do for years and I was determined to make three or four this year. I am very pleased with the results as they are delicate and would sit perfectly well in a courtyard or <span style="text-align: center;">small sitting area in a garden. I am going to make two or three more than it will be out of my system!</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Part of a series of work where I am using two pieces to relate to each other in interesting ways depending on how and where they are placed.</div>

The Gardens as usual were beautiful. I walked passed borders jam packed with the most gorgeous </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
flowers - a riot of yellow, orange and all related colours. I stood on the wooden bridge and watched lovely fat ducks paddling and flitting across the water. I could have stayed there all day. It is a gentle place and would soon dissipate any gloomy thoughts.</div>

I thought he was an old dead leaf until I tried to brush him away which he seemed to resent and spread out all his legs to make himself look bigger. I think he was a bit dazed and very slowly tried to make his way out of my 'pot'.<br />

Broke wrist at end of January!<br />
Could not drive, play tennis etc etc and definitely no work.<br />
What a bummer. No photographs!<br />
<br />
Nevertheless three exhibitions already underway:<br />
1. Sculpture at Kingham Lodge until end of May (part of Oxfordshire Artwork)<br />
2. Surrey Hills Sculpture Garden at Birtley House until June 5th.<br />
3. Borde Hill Gardens, Haywards Heath until end of September.<br />
Four more yet to come.<br />
Fortunately I had all the work for these exhibitions ready to go. Hopefully I will be back on track shortly. These things take longer than expected.<br />

I can't really remember when I had my first website but thought my old one looked rather formal so decided to update. New one much more jolly and I can change the images etc., myself. Let's just hope that I remember to do so.<br />
Anyway, thought it would be a good idea to take this opportunity to present some new pieces I have been designing in the last few months. I think I mentioned that I rather liked the idea of putting pieces together so they interlinked and related to each other telling a different story with each arrangement.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
These rather strange rhythmic forms are reminiscent of fallen leaves or open pods. They can be placed singularly or together, on their sides or even upside down. Up to me.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
These forms are like discarded husks. Quite aggressive in shape and outline. They are a little smaller than my usual structures so I had more control over the final outcome:<br />

Just beginning to plan this year's exhibition programme. Let's hope the weather is a little kinder. All I remember of last year was a lot of rain and very high winds. It can't be that again can it?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh well gardens seem to look good regardless.</div>

The weather has been quite dreadful since then but hopefully September may be an 'Indian Summer'. We can but hope!<br />
The sculpture trail looks good as always with much variety in materials and ideas.<br />
<br />
Sunday last I took three pieces to Savill Gardens. This is a photo of 'Quirky II'. Got very wet installing it!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Fortunately the rain had stopped but the gardens were very wet and dripping. All the better for that - they really are very beautiful, as you can see from some of the photographs I took.<br />
<br />

It is an interesting sculpture trail. Not too many pieces but all very carefully and thoughtfully placed.<br />
It is on for two months finishing at the end of October.<br />

It started on Monday and will continue until the 27th July. I am showing a couple of pieces from my Foliage series and they blend in beautifully with the soft colours of their surroundings.<br />
Loseley Park has a lovely 16th century house and a walled garden some of which was originally designed by Gertrude Jekyll. The countryside around it is really beautiful. Quite unspoilt as you can see from some photographs I have included.<br />

It is a private members club just outside Henley consisting of a mansion and grounds with a long river frontage overlooking the Regatta course.<br />
This is a new venue for me so it will be interesting to see how it goes.<br />
Fortunately the weather was good for placing the pieces in situ. Henley, needless to say, was very very busy. Everyone preparing for the big event next week.<br />
The pieces I took were two 'bird baths'. A rather eccentric one and a smaller pretty one, called Rosieblue, possibly for a courtyard setting.<br />

I thought it was rather interesting to compare my rather haphazard attempt at taking a photograph of this piece in my garden and the more professional approach (to say the least).<br />
<br />
Quite a difference I think! So if you want some excellent<br />
pictures taken of your work you know where to go. <br />

'Together' and 'Touching'.<br />
I have for the past couple of years been experimenting with two/three pieces that directly inter-relate rather than just one single piece on its own.The dynamics are immediately very different. I have taken this idea one step further and physically joined two pieces together to see if they can actually entangle. I think this idea can be taken much further with a bit more thought.Diana Roleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06602098162130362880noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4003468460103054736.post-58018916713859634732015-06-09T14:37:00.003+01:002015-06-09T14:37:46.668+01:00At long last I have been able to access my blog. It has been a long time since I published any information about myself and my work. In fact one whole year! I have not disappeared of the scene and I have not given up ceramics. Far from it in fact.<br />
I have been experimenting with some new ideas. Inevitably some work and some do not. I only took the pieces out of the kiln last week but a soon as I have taken photographs of them I will put them on the blog. (All being well!)<br />
I have already exhibited my work at AppArt in Godalming in April when the weather was good and at Birtley House in Bramley when the wind was so bad quite a few pieces of sculpture were blown over and damaged. A salutary lesson to us all.<br />
I will be exhibiting at Loseley Park 30th June - 27th July and Wisley 22nd August -27th September.Diana Roleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06602098162130362880noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4003468460103054736.post-56095889478499758672014-05-26T11:10:00.000+01:002014-05-26T11:10:54.191+01:00Days I am opening my garden in June!I will soon be opening up my little garden in Sunningdale in order to exhibit some <br />new pieces created in the last few years.<br />The dates when my garden will be open to the public are the 7th and 8th June 11a.m.-5p.m; 12th June 11a.m.-5p.m. and 6.00p.m.-8.30p.m and finally the 14th June 11a.m.-5p.m. The address is: Hall Cottage, 19 North End Lane, Sunningdale, Berkshire. SL5 0EB<br />This exhibition is in association with the Surrey Artists Open Studios summer event which is an annual visual opportunity for the public to visit various studios and meet the artists.<br />I attach three images of my garden at this moment in time just to give you a flavour. Knowing the habit of gardens it will look very different on the days of the exhibition.<br />Hope to see you there.<br />

I have been working hard through the winter months experimenting with new ideas. Most of which have ended up in the reclaim bin. No matter. It is good for the brain cells and time well spent.<br />
The exhibition season is upon us. My first one this year starts on the 5th April. AppArt is one of the Surrey Sculpture Society's chosen venues for this year and has moved to a new address namely Priory Fields School, Godalming. I will be showing two smaller pieces in the inside gallery and two further pieces in the gardens. See attached images:<br />
