Artists documenting artists

Whilst I am still collecting your images of studios, I'd like to highlight this particular fourth coming exhibition at the Brewhouse in Taunton which features film and digital media work of artists at work in their studios. The work has been commissioned by SAW and is to tie in with the open studio theme to art weeks this year. Personally I also quite like the concept of artists documenting other artists. There are a lot of groups of artists working in Somerset and this is a great way to prompt artists into talking to one another and open up discussions about their practices in a less formal way. Of course at the same time it also invites new people to see the processes and skills artists in Somerset have to offer.

The work for this exhibition has been created by Kate Noble, Mark Parry and Bronwen Bradshaw, is called 'Artists at work' and will be running from the 11th of September until 9th October.

Myrtle Pizzey's Studio on the Somerset Levels

As a part of Somerset art weeks this year, artists are opening their studios up to the public. I asked artists participating to send me an image of their studio for the blog, this is another one of those who have replied so far. So without further ado, welcome to Myrtle Pizzey's studio at Hill Farm at Wookey.

You can visit Myrtle who is a print maker at venue 128 in the SAW catalogue or click on the link below for more details:
