| and her sculptor husband Charles Poulsen |
I actually visited twice, once with some artists from Church and then I really wanted R to see the work so I went back with him the day after! There was so much to look at I am glad I had the chance for a second visit. Charles Poulsen's growing sculptures grabbed most of my attention and have been lingering in my thoughts since discovering them. I feel there are comparisons to be made with Andy Goldsworthy's work; an interesting contrast between growing sculpture and, in a sense, dying sculpture as many of Goldsworthy's pieces use natural materials which are already dead, fallen leaves for example. Just a thought and not fully formulated as you can tell, I greatly admire the work of both men and am struck by points of comparison. There may well be an evening watching the Andy Goldsworthy DVD again. Think on.

Oh how lovely! I have long been a fan of Pauline Burbidge's work and her husband's looks great too.
