Margaret Dean: Last Day, drawing, 2011
In
1973 Margaret was fortunate to find an exceptional studio space in
Bluehayes House which belonged to the internationally known Conservator
of Paintings Margaret Watherston. Watherston handled the
collections of the Guggenheim and Whitney Galleries in New York and
acted as adviser to a number of New York artists including Rothko. Her
main studio was in Times Square, New York but she also ran Bluehayes
House in Devon which was used to clean and restore paintings from the
dominant painters of the New York School. This stimulating setting
became Margaret’s working environment for the next 20 years.

Roger Dean - the bronzes
Artist's
statement: The starting point of the two small bronzes plus the large
marble/resin column is based around the fusion of organic and
manufactured (man made) structures and the relative effect that these
two separate identities have on each other.
Roger Dean: Four Way Curtain Bronze
The small Four Way Curtain bronze is one of a series of works
(mainly in relief format) which are based around ideas of privacy and
isolation
In
addition certain metamorphic devices come into play where the
transition from two to three dimensions operates to introduce elements
of uncertainty and ambiguity with each individual sculpture.
