August 4th

The exhibition Inspired by Birds at the Castle Museum is up and running until August 31st.  Here is a great review by Ian Collins:

“My favourite piece – and also one of the subtlest exhibits – is the murmuration by Liz McGowan of Spratts Green near Aylsham.

Working with natural found materials, Liz produces work which is always innovative and interesting.  She made one of the most memorable images in my Salthouse show – swirling constellations of dried starfish – and she is now working on a Tide Lines theme with Jane Frost for Cley14.

For Inspired by Birds Liz has set a blizzard of young ash keys in plexiglass for a pattern which could be made by a thrown net or billowing smoke from a bonfire but is perfect for that folding and unfolding shape of flying starlings we are so lucky to see over East Anglia before dusk on a wintry afternoon.”

I have just put up a sculpture at RSPB Minsmere which I have made from the many, many pieces of plastic that visitors collected off the beach and brought to the Plastic Palace.  It is at the end of the North Wall.  Full information from:

You can see new work at the Greenhouse in Bethel Street Norwich, part of their exhibition called Flight.  This is part of a series of works that change with time and more pieces will be on show at my Open Studios event, The Crooked Rose, along with work by Malca Schotten, Kim Turner, Lorraine Valentine, Maryrose Watson, Thomas Matthew Elston and Red Sanderson – including Tea and Conversation and opportunities to be hands on!  See more at:

Later in the summer I will be working with Jane Frost at Cley next the Sea for the exhibition Cley 14.  We will be exploring the shifting tidelines at Cley, the current one on the shingle beach and the Medieval one near the church.  Installations and activities and journals to write in.  Information and dates from:
