We’re pleased to shout about a new exhibition by our flexible member Mary Pullen. Mary is an alumna of the London College of Communication with a degree in Book Arts and Crafts, currently working as a freelance illustrator and book artist from her studio in East Anglia.
Mary’s illustration work is inspired by everyday forms, both natural and synthetic, and records ‘live’ observations on site and in the moment using a variety of experimental drawing techniques.
Using the opportunity to spend time as Artist in Residence at Jardine Cafe’ & Bistro, Mary is currently making new work to expand her One Line series of illustrations, to be shown in her solo exhibition in may 2012. Mary’s unique and limited edition artist’s books reveal her passion for original and traditional folktales and intriguing superstitions. Content is created using illustrations, printmaking, photography and paper engineering often combined with creative writing prose and poetry. With a mission to pass on traditional skills to one and all, Mary devises and leads creative workshops in bookbinding and book arts for participants of all ages, drawing on a successful career in teaching to create the perfect workshop for each client group.
Mary’s illustration and book art work has been shown in exhibitions including Women in Artists’ Books (London College of Communication 2008), Images 32 (The Association of Illustrators 2009), Mile End Ancestors (English Heritage 2009), Common Ground (Walthamstow Art Trail 2010), Infiltrating the System (UWE 2011) and published in Uppercase Canada (2010).
