Catherine Hyde
"In Darkling Wood"
4th ~ 19th November 2023

Lighthouse Gallery, Penzance

In Darkling Wood is a mixed collection of Catherine Hyde's works on canvas, panel, clayboard and paper. Many of these pieces will appear in her forthcoming book 'Darkling: the owl's song, which is to be published in summer 2024.

She describes the works as night poems and these intensely drawn and layered paintings explore the transition of dusk into night as the light sinks and colour drains into darkness. With moonrise the woodland is transformed into another landscape of contrast and pattern where uncertain shadows suggests deeper spaces. Using inks, acrylics and pouring glazes she builds and scratches into the surface of canvas and clayboard inviting the viewer to step further in.

What many people regard as Catherine's signature animals: hare, barn owl and deer are here joined by rook, fox, otter and badger and most particularly by the tawny owl who sits and watches, who sits and listens, and calls twilight to him.

The bird feeder pic is mine. we have been planting more and more veggies, fruits, trees and flowers. I typically see over 20 different species of birds here on any given night. This is the first time I have seen an indigo bunting.

Swedish sandwich cake decorated with edible flowers made by Aimee Twigger of Twigg Studios.
What are your thoughts on savory cakes??
I've been seeing more and more of them lately and they certainly are beautiful. This cake is a smörgåstårta, a Swedish sandwich cake, and Aimee filled it with spring chicken, wild garlic, sautéed asparagus, spinach, spring onion, and lots of herbs mixed in with some garlic aioli, cheddar cheese, herby mayo, and cucumber. The "frosting" is cream cheese, mixed with mascarpone and more garlic aioli.
Aimee makes truly beautiful food that is seasonal and nourishing. She describes herself as a visual storyteller. Give her a follow here at Twigg Studios or on Instagram . You can also make some of her glorious recipes by visiting her blog: https://www.twiggstudios.com/blog/
