Slipping the trail
Wed. July 8, 2015
We were thrilled to receive a copy of Philip Eglin‘s recent publication, Slipping the Trail & Responding to the Buckley Slipware in the Aberystwyth Collection, which is published to coincide with his exhibition which moves around Wales over the next few months. “Eglin has always been a borrower, responding to things he loves in the world around him. Great paintings, old pots, modern plastic bottles or children’s drawings – all become sources of inspiration and flash points to set the artist’s eye on a new trajectory. He enjoys working with museum collections and, in Aberystwyth, he quickly identified the collection of slipware, much of it from Buckley in North Wales, as a potential for a new body of work.”
Philip’s work is sold by the Marsden Woo Gallery, London, EC2 and you can visit his exhibition at Aberystwyth Arts Centre 20th June – 9th August 2015, Ruthin Crafts Centre January – March 2016 and Mission Gallery, Swansea April 2016. We shall be heading for Aberystwyth as soon as we can – many thanks for the book Philip.
