Cedric Ford Art Exhibition details



Following my success in winning this year Nottingham University art prize I'm pleased to let you know the details of the exhibition as listed above which is open to everyone to go and view.
If you Google 'Nottingham University Map' you can easily find directions and information for public pay and display parking (make sure you pay, the parking attendants are hot at issuing parking fines!!) 
The wining entry is for sale @ £95 (and there is a companion piece 'Far' which is also for sale. If both are purchased together then there is a special exhibition price of £175).


I hope you get along to and enjoy the exhibition...

Latest map using found materials...

Continuing to develop my map theme this is the next in the series looking at using found materials from my Coxmoor Woods walks.


The materials include aluminium, earth, two sorts of wood, and charcoal all collected whilst walking, then made into particles that can be applied to the paper surface.


Using the objects from my walks is important  to me in establishing a direct physical link in the work that I do; giving a sense of authenticity in the drawing process.


I have also just been to the Hamish Fulton Exhibition at the Ikon Gallery in Birmingham which is on until the 22nd of April which I would recommend a visit to.
