4GoFigure
GFX21 - Julie Inkersole
When I moved to Cumbria last summer, I was lucky enough to be introduced to 'GoFigure', a friendly, dynamic group of arty bods who share the love of trying to capture the human form in one medium or another. I have had a fun time this year getting back into art and experimenting with creating simple line drawings with both 'GoFigure' and out and about around my new Cumbria home. I have mostly played with a mix of pen and ink, crayon and watercolour.

Whilst drawing from life with 'GoFigure' is sadly on hold, over the next few month, I plan to play around with the sketches I've already made with 'GoFigure' and elsewhere. I also hope to have a shot at printing with a press which I want to make out of a pasta maker, intructions on YouTube and pasta maker arriving at Christmas, fingers crossed!!!
I am fond of working in 3D and have rekindled my love of making installations, both large and small, depicting industrious clambering clay men, 'Busy Bods', engaging in silly tasks, played out on various backdrops of either canvas, metal, reclaimed materials or even sometimes cake!!! I have recently discovered wire sculpture and I am 'hooked', although the sharp wire is a bit hard on the fingers, knees and tracky bottoms, I just love it.
