It’s lovely to finally share the pieces I’ve been working on for my recent small show, ‘A Mind Insensible of Guile’: reimagining the forgotten architecture of John Meadows. Here’s a new work inspired by the only extant & visible piece of Meadow’s work that remains, at Hartland Abbey in North Devon.
Collage of the original Georgian design of Hartland Abbey in North Devon by the architect John Meadows.

I’ve been working on this new direction for about 8 months and the feedback has been wonderful. I’ve just listed a few pieces, so, if you’re interested in old church buildings, historic houses and other architectural oddities why not take a look? Timgodden.co.uk/shop #fineart #art

It’s been quite the journey, but today I finally finished my new piece. Partly representative, partly the feeling of the place, and partly the memory of my visit to St. Mary’s at Barningham Winter in Norfolk. #FineArt #Art #Architecture

I usually forget to take process videos, but today I remembered. So here’s a short time-lapse video of the almost meditative act of painting lichen forms. This will be included in a new work due to be finished soon. #art #fineart #BritishArt

On 9th April 1917, whilst smoking a pipe in his dugout doorway, the poet and writer Edward Thomas was killed. His greatest legacy, his writings, still influence the way we perceive place and consider our place within the landscape. #ww1 #linocut #art

A churchyard sketch from the last day of March. I’m not a religious person, though I find a wander down to the church, either to sit and think in the silence or to sketch whatever takes my fancy, helps to clear my mind and both inspire and prepare me for what comes next.

A recent visit to my local Churches Conservation Trust church, St. Petrock’s Church, Parracombe, inspired this new work. To me it is one of the gems of Exmoor. If you’re ever in the area do make sure to visit this wonderful place and be inspired yourself. #art #churchcrawling

I’m very sorry to have to share the news that my friend Richard Aldred passed away yesterday. It was an honour to have known him for the last few years of his eventful life. Another of the voices of the Normandy summer of 1944 fades away into memory. #ww2 #veteran

Hopefully for next year’s #WorldBookDay I will have my own book to share, but for now a few favourites from my collection will have to suffice. Blunden is one of my favourite writers of the Great War, this signed copy of some of his poems is very special to me. #ww1

On the way home from Norfolk I stopped to photograph the Elveden war memorial. Its siting at the meeting point of three parishes was central to its function as a memorial. Though with the widening of the A12 its grandeur in the landscape is now difficult to capture. #ww1 #memorial

I have spent the last month or so researching and creating this large scale piece showing the November night in 1967 that Dunsland was consumed by fire. Today I took the completed piece to the terrace in the landscape where the old house once stood. #architecture #art #artist

Working up the layers on a new piece. This is a piece I have been mulling over in one way, shape or form for about five years, but didn’t have the creative outlet to capture the image in my mind. Hopefully in the next few days I’ll, at last, be able to look upon the completed work. #art

Hobart’s Mausoleum, Blickling, Norfolk As a child I was taken to walk on the Blickling estate many, many times. In retrospect, I think this place has played a formative role in the things in life I find aesthetically pleasing and intriguing. #art #architecture #place
