About Me
- Margaret Gosden
- JANUS - looking backwards and forwards is a Janus trait - for me a way to record the "in between thought", whether in retrospect, or as a notion for the future. I make original prints, currently etchings. I sometimes write and take photographs. I am inspired by what I see and read. Although postings are chronologically recorded by date and time in this protocol, the images exhibited, often seen in different stages of production, are from another time. So, with each new posting, earlier postings can undergo revision or amplification as will be noted, or requested. The addition of a SNAPSHOTS Blog and a VIRGINIA WOOLF Blog are included because my different interests tend to influence what I do as an artist. There will be a Family Blog, too, for the same reason.
Certainly a favourite flower of mine. And the poor old namesake is a mystery still. I found out about his life, but not the reason for the naming.
ReplyDeleteGerbera has been my favourite many years...I like deep orange....

These flowers are bright and cheerful but almost always keel over and die for me.('Im usually good with plants)
