For Herefordshire Art Week, I was Artist in Residence in the Panelled Room of
Shell House Gallery, Ledbury. Thank you to all of those who called in and to
Amie, David and Emma at the Gallery. I had a most enjoyable nine days working
in a most beautiful room. It was also an honour to be one of the two selectors
with Clare Woods of the H’Art Open at Hereford Museum and Art Gallery. All in
all it was a thoroughly inspiring H’Art Week and I look forward to next year.

On Tuesday 3rd July, I gave an illustrated talk on the concept of Visionary Cartography as seen in the work of William Blake and Medieval Mappae Mundi and discussed a way of working which aims to represent the infinite in the moment.
A video of this event is on its way.

The works are mentioned in an article about the Summer Exhibition in the RA Magazine and Metta is included in the RA Illustrated 2012 which catalogues a selection of works from the exhibition.
Tess Jaray RA, who has co-ordinated the Summer Exhibition this year, has had her book ’Mysteries and Confessions’ reprinted in paperback by the RA. The book has a section about my paintings called ‘The Bear’.

The Stations Exhibition at Discoed Church was beautifully organised and displayed. The event in the lead up to Easter this year raised funds for victims of torture. It was very special for me to be one of the twelve artists in the exhibition. Another special fundraising exhibition is in the planning for Easter 2013 with the theme of The Last Supper. I look forward to making a new work for this in the coming months.

Andrea McLean
Visionary Cartography
In the work of William Blake can be traced the concept of visionary cartography – maps that seek to represent the infinite in the moment. Andrea’s own paintings advance this construct found in medieval mappa mundi. Within a circular fire-petalled painted map of the cosmos Blakean images emerge.
