3 weeks to go and The Whiteknights Studio Trail is back in town for this June 2012, 16th and 17th June.

a beautiful work by Tom Cartmill
mixed media on linen - 80 x 160 cm - Tom Cartmill, 2012
Finished this work two weeks ago and it will be leaving the studio for the first time and indeed forever, this weekend: I have sold it in my Open Studio show.
This Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 25-28th May, 11am -5 pm are Rear Door Studio’s last open days of the season. Last chance to see Tom Cartmill’s studio, gain insight into his practice and see new work. Hope you can make it over.

performance & poise
nothing to see, left over
nothing to see, escape nowhere
nothing to see, downslope
afternoon stroll - a different way
I should stop asking myself questions they say.

March 1996. Near Srebrenica. Photo: Gary Knight—VII
This photograph is taken in a ditch at the foot of a mountain path that connected the Bosnian enclave of Srebrenica to Bosnia. Thousands of men fled for their lives down this path and across the adjacent fields after the fall of Srebrenica in 1995. Approximately 8,000 men and teenage boys from the enclave were killed as they fled by Serb forces who poured machine-gun fire, anti-aircraft cannon and artillery down on the path. Some survivors spoke of Serb soldiers in white coats coming out of the forest with syringes and injecting them.
Theodor Menon, the presiding judge of the Appeals Chamber at the International Criminal Tribunal for Yugolsavia, made this statement about Srebrenica: By seeking to eliminate a part of the Bosnian Muslims, the Bosnian Serb forces committed genocide. They targeted for extinction the 40,000 Bosnian Muslims living in Srebrenica, a group which was emblematic of the Bosnian Muslims in general. They stripped all the male Muslim prisoners, military and civilian, elderly and young, of their personal belongings and identification, and deliberately and methodically killed them solely on the basis of their identity.”
