I think Jean is a relative newcomer to internet
communication of the kind experienced on this Alt Photo List. It may be
that Jean is already a subscriber, I dont know, but bearing in mind
the general reticence of the English towards self promotion, including
myself, ( with a few exceptions we may recall) and the time consuming
nature of the writing activity required, I can understand why her work is
not more well known in the Alt Photo genre. Jean's partner, Ken
Draper RA, is a more well known artist making three dimensional highly
coloured abstract pieces, so her circle of acquaintances and clients are,
probably, more in the field of painting etc.,. Perhaps you would like to
email Jean, directly. She is a very pleasant person. Jean's and Ken's
joint exhibition at the Sa Nostra Gallery in Mahon, Menorca in
July,was a real pleasure to view for my wife and myself.
Strangely, this year, altho' the
Royal Academy now includes a specialist gallery in the Summer Show devoted
solely to photography, Jean's work did not appear, and there were no Gums,
either.
''When the Clouds go Rolling By.''
I feel sure your interest would be
appreciated.
