Postcard from Providence…

campfire_gc_small© Caroline Gray 2010
Busy times for Caroline Gray, one of Blue Rim’s printmakers. You may recall Caroline’s monochrome etchings that were featured on our site last year. Since then, she has been branching out into illustration and designing greeting cards sold at the V&A Museum, Urban Outfitters and Waterstones. Blue Rim Gallery recently caught up with Caroline to find out what she was up to in her new base in Rhode Island, in the US…
“Over the past year in Providence, RI, I have been enrolled in the Children’s Book Illustration program at the Rhode Island School of Design. By the end of the program, I will have developed a substantial portfolio of illustration work, and will be ready to embark on a career as a Children’s Book Illustrator! As well encouraging the development of an identifiable personal style, the courses in this program have focused on the publishing industry itself. Alongside this I have been developing some new greeting card designs, also geared to a juvenile market. I have been working increasingly in three-dimensional media and gouache.”

The Trouble With Women…

Watch out for Coral Churchill’s new exhibition at the Menier Gallery, London on 16-20 February 2010.

The Trouble with Women” brings together an eclectic body of work from a small group of Fine Art graduates from Central St Martins. The show is a humorous, lively yet sometimes dark exploration of femininity in a postmodern post feminist world. It is an exploration of women’s interior worlds as well as the way they are perceived and represented today. The works examine notions of femininity as enduring as motherhood and sexuality but also the ever changing expectations of women.

Coral Churchill is interested in intuitive art and the role of the woman as creator. The subconscious and the symbolic are central concerns, while automatism is interwoven with observational work. Recent work reflects the social construct of femininity in a patriarchal society, looking at transformation and the shape shifter archetype.
