A few recent drawings made with homemade oak gall ink and quills, which we then chopped up into smaller pictures and have been carrying around in our pockets to give out – if you see us around make sure to ask for one!

An old drawing of mine, titled World Serpent, but one I am returning to. It’s the proportions and warm, natural darkness of charcoal which interests me.
World Serpent drawing in charcoal, of a landscape, with a snake like creek running through it.

We also think of the '&' as being like a serpent, the very same that whispered in Eve's ear and told her to eat the fruit – she was wise enough to listen! We too listen to the whispers from the darkness, from nature, from within.

Daniel & Clara @danielandclara.bsky.social · 03/04/2025
We think of the artist as a servant of the creative spirit. Our job is to create what only we can create. This manifests differently for each of us and that's why it counts, it's about a myriad of unique perspectives. In this sense '&' is also a symbol of infinite possibilities.

Daniel & Clara @danielandclara.bsky.social · 03/04/2025
We always use an '&' between our names, never an 'and'. The '&' is like a magic thread which binds us, it represents the third component of our collaboration which is neither of us individually but the two of us combined.

David Lynch’s world-building didn’t stop at film. His paintings, drawings, and photography expand his eerie, dreamlike storytelling beyond the screen.

 We will explore how his art blurs the boundaries between the familiar and the uncanny.

So next week this painting, the biggest I have ever made at 2 x 3m, is off to the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts for their exhibition Can The Seas Survive Us? Opens 15 March. I’m a bit scared/excited
Haar, a gigantic moody painting of a fluctuating dark sea and a ship on the horizon. Incidentally this is my all time favourite type of sky- slab of violet cloud squeezing light into a thin strip.

Thinking about the history of nature study as an intellectual pursuit but also the subjective embodied experience of being out in the field face to the ground staring into the long grass or the depths of a pond as a way to glimpse reality beyond the human frame

Do follow these two incredibly inventive artists, their work is full of heart, intrigue and weirdness, which is, of course, the best type of art.
