Less than a week to go! Big thanks to Ilya and Laura for their posts last week. Next week the NSA instagram account will be in the hands of Julia Giles and Patricia Wilson Smith. If anybody fancies continuing the takeover while the show is on
please contact me info@seamusmoran.com and I'll sort you out with a slot. Remember that it's hand-in day Tuesday morning! See you all then. Seamus

Hello! It’s @lauramenziesart back here for my fi

Hello! It’s @lauramenziesart back here for my final takeover. 🎉

Today I thought I’d share more about a self publication I released last year titled ‘Inner Landscapes’ that documents my painting practice over an exciting 2 year period.

It features photos from my recent travels in India, snippets of my art journals, documentation of exhibitions, an in depth interview, information about my inspirations & processes and lots, lots more!

The project was a wonderful one to work on as it was so satisfying to see my vision come to life page by page.

The book is £28 is limited to 300 copies & each one comes hand signed. If you’d like to find out more or order a copy you can visit my website www.lauramenzies.co.uk and click on the ‘book’ tab at the top. 💫

@lauramenziesart back here sharing snippets of some new work. I’ve recently been painting on raw canvas which has been a new process for me. I adore how the paint pools & the colours bleed & blend almost dyeing the fabric.

I also find my colours change as the seasons around me do. In the summer I love to work with bright vibrant colours and then come Autumn I’m much more drawn to earthier, richer shades which echo the changing landscape.

The first painting is titled ‘Changing Light’ and is my submission for the next @nsanewlyn show which opens at @tremenheeresculpturegardens on Saturday 12th October. I’m greatly looking forward to the exhibition & seeing the diverse work of the NSA members. 🎨

Hello it’s @lauramenziesart here & il be taking over for the next 3 days! 🎉

I’m an abstract painter based in Falmouth & create expressive & intuitive paintings inspired by place, memories & emotions.

I work primarily in oil & coldwax as I love adding layers of texture & depth. It’s a liberating process that allows me to scratch back to create history & mystery within my work.

I’m very much looking forward to being part of the next @nsanewlyn show @tremenheeresculpturegardens which opens on October 12th!!

@fisherilya here for my final post of this 3 day @nsanewlyn Instagram takeover.

My work combines words, photography and stitching. In this post I’m sharing some new explorations. It feels time to play with paint, ink, pastels as a possible base for my words. I am in experimental mode but here is a glimpse at some things that I’ve been up to. If you look closely you'll see the words.

And a reminder about the upcoming Newlyn Society of Artists autumn exhibition at the Tremenheere Gallery near Penzance. Come join us for the opening party!

Saturday 12th October -Sunday 3rd November 11am -4pm, closed Mondays. Opening party 12th October 2-4pm, Artist talks Sunday 20th October 2-3.30pm.

Hi, @fisherilya here for Day 3 of my @nsanewlyn In

Hi, @fisherilya here for Day 3 of my @nsanewlyn Instagram takeover.

My work is very personal, and I often use myself in the photographs, the body representing our struggles, my struggles with these issues.

I created Things I’ve Learnt About Love last year. I read and read to help my understanding of the world and what we are doing to it. I began to see how all paths lead to love (caring, respect etc), that with love for each other, for the world around us, we could be in a better place, and my thoughts turned into a poem. It's made up of three pieces, each with a verse of the poem stitched on it. This work is all about the poem really, about love. (3 pieces, each 57 x 130cm, photograph, thread, linen fabric))

Exhibition opens October 12th at Tremenheere Gallery near Penzance.

Hello! @fisherilya here again in the second post of Day 2 of my NSA @nsanewlyn Instagram takeover. I’m sharing more from series Unravelling.

1.The first image is Paradise Lost, the figure is reading Milton’s classic about man’s fall from grace in the Garden of Eden, we were told that helping ourselves to apples would lead to our downfall -sounds a familiar story when updated to oil and coal? The stitched words are ‘helping ourselves to apples and coal’.

2. I Don’t Understand. The stitched words on the second piece say ‘eye don’t understand how this has become a left wing and liberal issue when it affects us all’.

3.Hope: ‘a world where we live with and protect the Earth’

Day 2 of my NSA @nsanewlyn Instagram takeover. @

Day 2 of my NSA @nsanewlyn Instagram takeover. @fisherilya here.
In my series Unravelling I was thinking about the psychology of climate change. Why is it we know about the multiple crises yet do so little about it, how can we face the future and find our way to a safer, kinder world? This morning and in my later post today I’ll share a few of the works in this 16 piece series. There is a link to a short video about this series in the bio of my Instagram account.
For Unravelling the photographs are printed onto fabric organic cotton and the words stitched over.

1.The first one here is called ‘Overwhelmed’. I was unable to work as I felt overwhelmed by all the things I had been reading that we are not meant to do, so I made these things into this work, full of ‘don’t’s’.

2. Trump Tweet. This is a ridiculous Twitter post that Trump made back in 2014 ‘this global warming bull#### has got to stop’, though maybe we could take it directly as he says and stop!

3. Consumption, has the threads falling over the figure, taking over.

And don’t forget, the NSA Autumn exhibition opens on Saturday 12th October.

Hi, Ilya Fisher @fisherilya here again on Day 1 of my NSA Instagram Takeover.

Words are key to my work, I overlay words onto the image, weaving around the figure. The words are my thoughts and feelings. As time passes, I find the words are taking a bigger place in the work, often expanding into poems.

In ‘imagine if…’ the words just took over. The large piece has the whole poem stitched onto fabric, a delicate, unbleached muslin. There are 7 smaller pieces, each with a photographed figure sitting on the stump of a cut down tree and with one line from the poem, stitched onto organic satin cotton fabric. My favourite line is ‘imagine if we made decisions based on money (not love)’. It’s something I do too, it’s hard not to.

Upcoming NSA exhibition at Tremenheere Gallery opens on Saturday 12th October, opening party 2-4pm.

Hi, Ilya Fisher @fisherilya here, I’m taking ove

Hi, Ilya Fisher @fisherilya here, I’m taking over this @nsanewlyn Instagram account for the next three days.

First an introduction to myself. I’m the newest member of The Newlyn Society of Artists, Thank You @nsanewlyn! Very excited to be here.

My work explores issues around the climate and nature crisis, attempting to understand the world, what we are doing to it, and how to navigate to a better place. The things I think about in the rest of my life really. I am fascinated by the psychology, why is it we know about the multiple crises yet do so little about it, how can we face the future and find our way to a safer, kinder world? I use a combination of photography, embroidery and words.

The Three Stories of Now is my latest piece. I think that we weave in and out of three stories, 3 different ways of seeing the same world: 'Business as usual', 'Unravelling' and 'A better World', but that we choose one of these to live by. Each figure represents one of the three stories and surrounding words describe it. I was inspired by Joanna Macey’s three stories. 130 x 65cm (w x h).
Here's the whole piece and a detail following it, the third story, A Better World. And a photo of me to finish this introduction.

Upcoming NSA exhibition at Tremenheere Gallery opens on Saturday 12th October, opening party 2-4pm.

Thank you Martin Grimshaw for last week's Insta takeover. It'll be great to have your work in the exhibition. Next Wednesday Laura Menzies will taking over the slot until Saturday, but kicking off the week tomorrow we have our newest member Ilya Fisher. Some of you may already know Ilya and her work ( she was one of the artists at the Terrafurie exhibition at Truro cathedral in July) and we look foward to learning more about her in her Insta takeover.

8/8 NSA Instagram Takeover

After thinking my way through these posts, I have decided to submit The Door to the Studio (with Rose), 100 x 100 cm, and The Spinning Sun, 100 x 140 cm, for the NSA exhibition at Tremenheere Gallery, commencing 12th October.

Whatever the selection, I'm sure it will, as ever, be a show very much worth visiting, and the artist talks on Sunday, 20th October, 2 to 3.30 pm intriguing - I'm very much looking forward to it all.

A big thank you to all those organising the exhibition.
Martin Grimshaw
