Short-list 2012: Anna-Maria Desogus Memorial Award

Anna-Maria Desogus 1968 - 2008

It's already a year since I set up Anna's memorial award, Anna died of cancer on 9 February 2008 (she was 39 years old). Last week I went to Brighton University 3-D Materials Practise BA to select the short-list from this year's group of second year students.

The criteria are: a) Makes a strong visual statement  b) Innovative and creative consideration of materials, subject matter or form  c) Thinking ‘outside the box  d)  Shows humour and / or awareness of social issues  e) Presenting / exhibiting the work in a novel way

Jane Robbins - Prints

Yellow House artist Jane Robbins is showing at new venue 5 Warleigh Road this year, aptly named 'The Garden House'! I caught up with Jane at the private view, fantastic to see her new prints 'Bird Branches' 'Flower-pots' & 'Kitchen'. Her use of beautiful snippets of collage & newspaper cuttings is just gorgeous - i'd love to have them all! Particularly exciting is that Jane created these as part of a commission with us at Art House Licensing, so they will soon also be available as greeting-cards (published by The Art File). The range is called SNIPPETS - a total of x 9 lovely designs coming soon!
