Amanda Vesey
Paintings & Works on Paper
12 September - 12 October 2006

With the diligence inherited from her career as a prominent writer and illustrator of children's books, Vesey observes ordinary moments of our quotidian landscape. The snapshot locations range from the parks of south London, glimpses caught touring France and Ireland to the random material of television. At first the work seems unassuming, then we understand the sympathetic familiarity and wry darkness of her pared-down vocabulary.
