Inspired by the Polar Bear

Inspired by the Polar Bear

Two pieces of art which draw upon the Polar Bear for their inspiration; one a meditation on the destruction of the Polar Bear’s environment using vintage imagery designed by Fox’s Glacier Mints; the other a specific tribute to Misha, who for many years was incarcerated in a concrete enclosure at Bristol Zoo. “The manipulation of commercial packaging from readily identifiable brands to convey in…

Serving Supper @Attic Theatre

Serving Supper @Attic Theatre

Attic Theatre’s latest culinary delight. “Just Supper” is as “finely fine as a fine thingy…” but be warned; “Its a bit weird though, isn’t it?” Think of a play based around a supper party and you might think of “Abigail’s Party”. This production stands favourable comparison with Mike Leigh’s work, but is closer in feel to “High Hopes” or “Another Year”,  with believably fallible characters…

GLACIAL MELTS

Climate Change exhibition:Painting, sculpture, prints, video. Wednesday 3rd August at 11am- 3pm Wed to Sat until 3rd September.The Seagull SA43 1HA Cardigan, UK[Glacial Melts. drypoint. 3/6 variable edition]“The manipulation of commercial packaging from readily identifiable brands is an attempt to convey in some small way the present menace which our planet faces in this dark age of the Anthropocene. Shrinking glacier mints and melting confections may seem to some to be making light of a disastrous situation, but if I chose to fight fire with fire on this issue, the grim realisation of my own ineffectuality would result in my pulling my own teeth out with rusty pliers….”Glenn Ibbitson  July 2022
