Lynn Baker Off To New Zealand

It’s a busy start to the year for Terrace-based glass designer, Lynn Baker of Studio 14 . She will soon be wrapping up her beautifully handmade glass and shipping it across the world to New Zealand.

Lynn’s work has been selected to exhibit in the UKGift 09 show in Auckland. Organised by UK Trade & Investment, the 4-day show will be held at the British Consulate in March. Lynn’s work will also feature in the show catalogue which will be distributed to buyers, retailers and media throughout New Zealand.

Working from her studio at The Terrace in Lincoln’s Cultural Quarter, Lynn produces hand blown and kiln formed glass bowls, forms and illuminated panels. Lynn gets her inspiration from the changes in light as it travels across the naturally beautiful Lincolnshire Wolds. As the light reflects and refracts off the glass, each piece is both tactile and optically exciting.

Lynn said “I am very excited - this opportunity offers a great way to test out a market with little expense. I think that New Zealand would be a great outlet for my work and if I can generate sales and new buyers, then I hope to follow this up with a visit to Auckland within two years”.

Sandie Griffiths, International Trade Adviser for UK Trade & Investment said “New Zealand enjoys a long history of association with the UK, much of the population is of British descent and the ties remain strong. As the legal and financial processes in New Zealand are similar to that of the UK, doing business is relatively straightforward.”

UKGift 09 will run from 24th to 27th March 2009 at the British Consulate in Auckland.

New Artist In Residence at The Terrace

New Artist In Residence in Collection Studio at The Terrace.

David Harket is the new Artist In Residence in Collection Studio at The Terrace until 17th March.

David's project is to undertake visual research primarily in the form of drawings and other documentation such as photographs into selected landscape paintings of Peter De Wint in the collection of the Usher Gallery. Peter De Wint (1784-1849) was an English watercolourist working in the early 19th Century. David chose the work of Peter De Wint because the Usher Gallery holds a significant collection of this landscape painters’ work. In addition an important theme in David's own practice concerns an analysis of the depiction of landscape and an assessment of landscape painting as a genre.

This project is supported by a grant from the Arts Council England.

Peter De Wint produced a series of paintings and watercolours of Lincolnshire including views both in and around the County City of Lincoln itself during his frequent visits. David also has a personal connection with Lincoln. He was born in Lincoln and his childhood was spent in Lincoln and North Hykeham. David's research will concentrate on selected works which relate to Lincoln and Lincolnshire.

During the course of the residency David will visit where possible, some of the locations which De Wint depicted in and around Lincoln, making his own observational notes and documentation. From the Usher Gallery's records David has compiled a list of De Wint's work which relates to such locations.

In order to develop his artistic practice David had conceived the idea of researching and making work in response to an existing collection of paintings in a public gallery. David's residency at here provides the opportunity and context within which he can realise this concept.
David is recording in an informal diary from the progress of his research. The link to this is http://www.davidharker.blogspot.com
