This Mourning Moon
The Mourning Moon is the Celtic name for the full moon in November. It embodies a sense of
hibernation and drawing in for the winter, darkness and perhaps even loss.

"The moon is the central theme in my latest series of woodcut prints. The illuminated orb of ancient rock, eternal, held in the frozen sky is a source of awe and wonder. There is a sense of timeless connection and comfort in its predictability with the constant loop of change and renewal. On this fragile planet, in a state of continual flux, the sight of the moon represents to me a moment of contemplation, a pause for thought. I am drawn outwards to the vastness of the unknown, it forces me to consider the transient beauty and nature of life."

"Life began in the north of Ireland where a rugged coastline and rural life was a part of my playground and where I loved to watch my uncle paint and sketch in watercolour. My focus remains on the natural world. My present work is in watercolour as I love the fluidity that somehow reflects natural processes in the landscape.
Landscapes and environments change between one place and the next but they always lie beneath the sky, surrounded by water always changing in the light from sunrise to sunset. Then there is the night time when darkness creeps over spreading textures of clouds and stars wherever you are. I have become more interested in this time, enjoying the darkness and the silence. The night time traffic of planes, satellites and light pollution exists with the poetic, reflection and imagination. I see it as a world of colour and depth as much as the day and the moon is part of the story, a beautiful spherical orb when full."

A Tale of London’ is a narative print exploring some key events of the High Middle Ages in London, both fact and fiction. The story begins with Dick Whittington and his cat, which has been aggrandised to a leopard reflecting both the legendary prowess of the cat and heraldic symbolism of the leopards of England. From here a number of vignettes take the viewer through a wooded landscape leading to the emerging city itself; a London dominated by The Tower.

The Age of Enlightenment was an intellectual and philosophical movement that occurred in Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries, with global influences and effects. The Enlightenment included a range of ideas centered on the value of human happiness, the pursuit of knowledge obtained by means of reason and the evidence of the senses, and ideals such as natural law, liberty, progress, toleration, fraternity, constitutional government, and separation of church and state. It was also an age of very big frocks and hair, and satire.

Danse Macabre is an artistic genre of allegory begun in the Late Middle Ages and reflects upon the universality of death. These pieces were produced as memento mori, to remind people of the fragility of their lives and how vain were the glories of earthly life. Following this tradition, Tim has produced an image of other worldliness, shadows, darkness, and mystery, fused with a vibrant party rhythm.

‘Working intuitively with Clay and glaze gives great joy and frustration, the process is always a learning curve. My current work includes fish, mystical animals and figurative work, exploring emotion and human relationships with each other and the natural/supernatural elements of myths, folk tales and storytelling.’
I make pots and I tell little stories. My work is very small, possibly insignificant, yet every piece has its own version of a life.
The faces I make express feelings and often strike up relationships with each other.
I like to think that my pots are expressing things that are sometimes hard to say, often it’s with a snarky look or a side eye.
No one is perfect."
