A Brush with Words: Cornwall (towards Cudden Point)
Oil on board 18″ x 22″
Continuing in our look back at the art and poetry exhibition, ‘A Brush with Words’, here is ‘Cornwall’ by Mark Bennett, which inspired the poem ‘Stitching it Up’ by Amanda Attfield
‘Stitching It Up‘ (for Cornwall)
Who takes the ocean’s chest measurement,
the length of the shore to elbow, shoulder to hill,
and inside leg, so that it fits so neatly
around cliffs, rocks, and the blushing bride sky?
The water tailors have been busy. They have
tidied away the seaweed, neatened all the seams
to better than French. It’s calm now, but they
are dressing for death. Somewhere a mackeral
trawler cuts along to its end, you can hear
their songs - Leave Her Johnny and Billy Riley.
There’s a line of tacking from the horizon.
Wake up the tailors, sack them for their easy
slackness. The business of the day is not yet done.
There’s an unfinished journey towards the sun.
Amanda Attfield

Summer Event July 2008
The London Adventure
EDWARD BURNE-JONES
‘Magnificent Dreamer’ was presented by Antony Clayton on Saturday 26th July, 2008.
“I mean by a picture a beautiful romantic dream of something that never was, never will be – in a light better than any light that ever shone – in a land no one can define or remember, only desire – and the forms divinely beautiful.”
A group of us attended the summer event this year on a warm, muggy day. We met at the entrance to Kensington Central Library in Hornton Street, W8, opposite the Town Hall. Thanks to Antony Clayton’s erudite presentation the weather didn’t preoccupy us although I couldn’t help wondering how all those wan, women with luxuriante hair, in voluminous attire managed to endure the heat. Anthony took us on a walk stopping at places where Burne Jones had lived or had been a visitor and we visited Melbury Road where once there was a thriving artists’ colony. The walk concluded at the site of Burne-Jones’s house and studio the Grange. The tour lasted approximately two hours and we ended with tea, cakes and relaxed conversation in a local tea shop. Everyone enjoyed the afternoon.
Antony Clayton is the author of ‘Subterranean City’, ‘London’s Coffee Houses’, ‘Decadent London’ and ‘The Folklore of London’.

Zara Schofield received the RASA Graduation prize
We haven’t had the pleasure of talking to Zara yet but we are looking forward to asking her about her work which can be seen in the gallery. There is something graceful and elegant in the objects that she produces which are eye catching and amusing. We wonder how much mischief is intended in the mix of the spiritual and earthly iconography? Watch this space and we will soon learn from the artist herself.’
A Brush with Words: Study for Still life with Music Chair
Continuing in our look back at the art and poetry exhibition, ‘A Brush with Words’, here is ‘Study for Still life with Music Chair’ by Michael Sangster, which inspired the poem ‘Titleless’ by Charles Johnson.
Titleless (for Study for Still life with Music Chair)
This dish of water
shows the slant of the
chest of drawers it’s on
The tiltedness of our bedroom world
takes a dropped marble direct every time
to the window wall
I see and say water: wine
and water? Blood
and Water? Dirty water?
Water for tame bird
seeming lame bird facing the window
shadow held behind as if a broken wing
Bird that came
to watch us pack/unpack
these lyre-backed chairs full of eyes,
uncrease the curtains,
shake out daisies
Charles Johnson
