Bradford Artists in Hamm
Hamm is Bradford's twin town. As part of the cultural links between the
towns, there was a visit and exhibition of artists from Hamm in Cartwright
Hall, Bradford. I was delighted to have been chosen as one of 7
Bradford's artists to visit and show work in Hamm.

and changes completely every few weeks. The upstairs area shows a
selection of Jane's and other artists work.
The Bingley Gallery -
Highlights
On next, after the Christmas and new Year break, we've
got the
This is an annual event showing unusual work from the
artists, that might not normally make it to display. Experimental perhaps, or
eccentric, out of line with the artists usual style, or just put away and
forgotten about till now. See the details below.
Back in October, The Bingley Gallery ground
floor featured Norman Bevan's "New Work". It was
another amazing success, with only 5 of the pictures remaining, which are still
at the gallery in the upstairs area, joining work
from my recent "New Janescapes"
show and Chris Dunn's "Bingley Secrets".
On Sunday September 27th I was on the 4th
Plinth
in Trafalgar Square!!
Whilst there I was raising funds for the
Bradford Burns
Unit. If you are able to sponsor me, you can give online at
www.justgiving.com/Jane-Fielder. Watch my performance or leave message at
www.oneandother.co.uk/participants/jane_f.
(The video stream of the appearance seems to stick after about 10 seconds. Just
drag the slider at the bottom to about a minute in, and it should be ok from
there. It starts with a woman in a white coat, that's the end of the previous
participant's time. I start at 1min 20 secs!)
My June 2009 show at Duncan Campbell Fine Art
in Kensington has now finished. In case you couldn't get to the gallery, I
have put some pictures from the exhibition here.
Time for our artists' annual “spring” clear-out, lots of bargains. Things
that haven’t fitted into other shows, unusual pieces, work that hasn't had a
chance to be seen before. Including paintings, textiles and sculptures from
£5.
The Bradford Open is an unrivalled showcase for the district's artistic
talent. Any artist and craftsperson in the Bradford district can submit to a
selection panel, who also award prizes to the very best.
Jane has submitted 2 pieces, and both are accepted. She has a typically
quirky view of Bingley in "Kiss, Co-op, Copydex …Cars, Cars, Cars", and a
rather more unusual stitched textile (mainly) wall hanging "Granny will be
100" produced by her and her extended family during visits to Granny. Talent
runs in the family!
And don't forget, out very own Amy Charlesworth is the overall WINNER of
the Bradford Open, gaining first prize for her entry!
"This summer, sculptor Antony Gormley is asking the people of the UK to
occupy the empty Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square in London, a space
normally reserved for statues of Kings and Generals. They will become an
image of themselves, and a representation of the whole of humanity. Every
hour, 24 hours a day, for 100 days without a break, a different person will
make the Plinth their own."
By an amazing piece of luck, Jane's application to appear was
successful, and she appeared September 27th 10-11am. You can still see her
on the The 4th Plinthwebsite. Click

to view the video of the appearance, or to leave
a message for Jane anytime. (The video stream of the appearance
seems to stick after about 10 seconds. Just drag the slider at the bottom of
the video window to about a minute in, and it will be ok from there. It
starts with a woman in a white coat, that's the end of the previous
participant's time. Jane starts at 1min 20 secs!)
"I'm hoping to raise funds for the
Bradford
Burns Unit. If you are able to sponsor me, you can give online at
www.justgiving.com/Jane-Fielder." said Jane. She auctioned the paintings
she did on the plinth (see this on the video), and that with other donations
raised nearly £600 for the Burns Unit.
The Fourth Plinth is the name given to the empty plinth in the north-west
corner of Trafalgar Square in London. It was originally designed by Sir
Charles Barry and built in 1841 to display an equestrian statue. There
were not enough funds available at the time to create a statue and so the
plinth was sometimes referred to as the 'empty plinth'.
Jane was thrilled to have again been
invited to show at
Duncan Campbell Fine Art in Kensington, London this year. This time, as
well as the Janescapes, she showed her Life drawings and Flower
paintings. The show is now over, but you can see selected work
below
She has also been asked
to show 'a winter collection' with Duncan at a later date.

interesting mention in an article in the "Scotland on Sunday" paper,
in an interview with well known poet and novelist
Sophie Hannah.
Sophie's new novel, The Other Half Lives, is set in the world of art, and I am
tickled that I am mentioned in the plot, and that the book is DEDICATED to me!
