An artist's view of human relationships
THE works of the late Dorothy Bradford will be
on display in the Millennium
Gallery until August 2. Sadly Dorothy died days before this, her last,
exhibition opened. (See this page).
In the notes to her exhibition,
she wrote: "My especial concern is with the relationships of human
beings one to another and their activities and environment - seeking out
the shapes, colours, forms, rhythms, images, etc., which refer to the
vital truths and laws underlying these complexities.
"I find a particular parallel
with music and painting. A group of musicians playing together are
individuals with their own complex life and experiences
but they are also members of a unit concerned with the work of the
composer, and within this unit there are the constantly changing
inter-relations one to another.
"These are revealed visually,
as their movements and stretchings and endeavours merge and contrast,
and aurally as the structure of sound is built up so that the themes and
ideas are stated, taken up, bandied about, opposed, modified, resolved.
I endeavour to recreate something of this in colours that SING."
