Ideas may begin by noticing how light falls on familiar objects around me at home or enjoying the luminous colours of land and seascape in Cornwall where I live.
Mary Ford
Mary has exhibited with the gallery since 2001 and has had three solo shows to date, the first coinciding with the publication of the Tate’s 2004 diary series for which Ford’s work ‘Boats-Antibes’ was chosen from its collection for the front cover and has since been made into a poster.
