This informative painting has been much admired by both local people and visitors, unfortunately over the years the weather had taken its toll on the paint and the board and it was looking a little the worse for wear. Luckily Mervyn had taken a photo, and thanks to Attic Design and Print it has now been reproduced using advanced techniques ensuring it will stay in pristine condition for the next ten years and is to be judged as part published, the ‘In Your of the Hayle in Bloom “In Your Neighbourhood’ competititon will Neighbourhood Competition”. have been judged (July 17th – 24th) Supported by the Town Council, and the main Champion of thanks must go to Tom Rimmer of Champions competition will also Attic Design & Print, Bob Penrose have been judged on Thursday 26th for installing it, Mervyn himself and July. others for getting it organised.

I have been living and working in Cornwall for 26 years, but am probably better known for my small archaeology book ‘no stone unturned’. In August I will be holding a retrospective exhibition with new works at St. Elwyn’s Church, Hayle (opposite the Jubilee Bridge). This year I reached 60 and thought it a good opportunity to look back over my art and showcase some new pieces. Having limited time in my 8 life to create I always move between disciplines: painting, drawing, metalsmithing, photography, portraiture, ceramics, figure drawing, mural painting, lamp-working, glass sculpture, collage, video, jewellery — because there isn’t time not to. The thought of being stuck in one stratum absolutely abhors me. And why does art have to be so serious?

I know I am a jack of all trades. Every few years I have a massive burn up of all the accumulated work I am dissatisfied with, or feel I have moved beyond, but I always keep back the best. The ash doesn’t go to waste because I mix it into acrylic paint for the creation of new pieces.
