This week's #homewithprg journal idea takes inspir This week's #homewithprg journal idea takes inspiration from Gerald Lewers' 'untitled' sculpture, carved in 1934 from Blackwood. A gift from Gerald’s daughters, Tanya and Darani Lewers in 1979 and now part of the Gallery’s permanent collection. You can see in this semi-abstract, figurative form that Gerald has taken inspiration from two intertwined bodies. Gerald was a master at translating a sense of movement into a sculptural shape and often found inspiration in both native animals and the human body in movement. This week, choose a living subject such as an animal or a person and see if you can abstract it down to a simpler version of itself, like Gerald has done in ‘untitled’, where we can identify a head, a shoulder etc but no details. Try to find the general / large shapes and flowing lines of your subject. The Gallery’s artist-designed garden has artworks throughout! And you are welcome to bring your sketch book along with you when you visit, sit in the garden and draw in this idyllic location. 📗
