Allotment

14/2/2014

I attach 14 photos from my allotment, a plot we took over this February. I can see it from my studio. I already take compost there.
The ground needs digging and weeding. Soon we'll transfer raspberries, strawberries, gooseberries, red and blackcurrants from our old allotment.
The greenhouse we bought for £20 on ebay. The next job is to insert the glass.
The previous tenant left flowering Brussels sprouts in the ground which are now on the compost heap. As last years' potatoes were too long in the ground they got too watery for eating but the chickens next door liked them. Our neighbor has already got early broad beans and onions on the go. Beautiful.

This month I aim to show locations of my reside residency.

CLAUDIA BÖSE, a painter based in Ipswich, Suffolk.

I construct my paintings through process, led by daily life, history and nature. I hope my ongoing engagement with light, colour and forms creates a new perception.

I am inspired and guided by the painterly process and its relation to abstraction; the way I handle paint invites an audience to consider my work without prejudice.
Decisions about when and how I use paint are also strongly guided by my empathy for work which has been created by other women painters.

I am drawn to regions which could be described as, geographical and psychological borderlands, especially those which have been interpreted throughout history by artists and writers.

Recently I began working in a new studio based high in the church tower of a modernist church in Ipswich; this is also adjacent to our allotment.
The very unusual perspective in tandem with attending to plants has already provided a different grounding and enrichment for my work.
