OF TRUTH OF WATER Collection. Works made around Coniston Water in Cumbria. from Frances Hatch

CATALOGUE OF WORKS
All the work was made on location around Coniston Water and speak of specific encounters and accumulations of experience in the steep Brantwood gardens, lakeside, Coppermines Valley and White Lady Falls between 2019 and 2023.

Water shapes this land of lakes and is the vehicle that transports and contains the ingredients of each work in this exhibition.
Earths indigenous to each site are integrated with watercolour, gouache and acrylic paint. The paintings become containers of experience.

Without the raindrop there is no waterfall, the White Lady only appears after rain.

I acknowledge with gratitude the hospitality and support of The Brantwood Trust and Director, Howard Hull.

I honour the spirit of John Ruskin, keen observer, fluent watercolourist - (and much else) whose curiosity accompanied me on my watery explorations.

All the works are available to view and purchase from Frances. The dimensions in this document are unframed dimensions. The prices are for framed works unless otherwise mentioned.
