Some photos from our Andrea Sinclair and William Hudon’s recent exhibition in Sant Boi in Barcelona. Find out more about the exhibition and their artworks here!
And here is Jenny’s poem, which Andrea’s artwork was based upon –
Imperfect Pearl
The last sorcerers
with earth air fire and water
sought to understand
the nature of life
blood phlegm black and yellow bile
four temperaments
humours to balance
through their waxing and waning
seasons of disease
heart liver spleen brain
spring summer autumn winter
how warm moist cold dry
sanguine choleric
melancholic phlegmatic
how hungry for change
feed them bleed them purge
make them take herbs drink potions
catch tears of a deer
the last sorcerers
understood that the four were
just the beginning

Last Tuesday, Art in the Park worked with employers from Moodys by holding a teambuilding exercise at the Lensbury Hotel in Teddington. People were divided into groups of 13 and given 1 hour and a half to create a iconic European building. Each 14 groups were amongst 5 rooms holding at least 2 professional artists to work with and advise the teams. The challenge was made competitive with Art in the Park bags containing bars of local chocolate from South London’s Melange as prizes.
There were some impressive structures made and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Thanks to everyone involved.

A freshly printed bag is revealed!
Artists Francis Wright and Simon Veis also ran a brick making workshop.
Adults and children made their own patterns in the bricks and embedded seeds into them.
