Being a journal of the goings on in and around the Goldmark Gallery.
The pictures, the people, the pots, the pleasures, the preposterous.

A Right Pair
There's an exhibition coming up at the Goldmark Gallery that's a real must. A great flurry of activity has attended a show of paintings by Dylan Waldron. I'm knocked out by his still lifes of fruit and veg., so reminiscent of those seventeenth century pics of lobsters and dead hares. And there's something companionably erotic about this row of pears. Or is it just me? Of course I find out that he lives in the same village as that Peter Ashley, so there's obviously been some collusion going on. However, I do urge you to get a Butcher's Hook at his work. It starts this Saturday in the Gallery and there's an accompanying catalogue in enticing colour and indeed a film that shows Mr.Waldron walking his patch of country. Probably thinking about what vegetable to paint next.
I love Dylan's work so much and you're right, it is incredibly sensual. Do we know if there's any significance to the way he places the objects in his still lifes?
Lord Carrot has spent so much time wandering about the Goldmark Gallery in Uppingham and not buying anything, he was told by the proprietor that he might as well live there and write about it. So leaving his near-derelict country house in the incapable hands of his elderly butler, Lord Carrot has been given an attic room which he shares with a stack of Paolozzis and a Frink bust of William Walton that doubles-up as a hat stand for his bowler.
