A set of 5 greetings cards taken from paintings of the SPODE ROSE GARDEN by LOUISE ADAMS in 2020/21.
As part of a year long series of activities in 2020-21, designed to communicate all of the many facets of the Spode Rose Garden, AirSpace commissioned Stoke-on-Trent based artist Louise Adams to capture the seasonality of the garden, through her drawing and painting practice. Through regular visits, starting in October 2020 and finishing in November, 2021, Louise produced seasonal responses, looking at the light, colour, pattern, texture and feeling of the Garden, and produced 6 finished paintings which formed the visual basis of a future publication demonstrating the changing nature of this beautiful small garden.
The cards are left blank inside for your message.

Louise is a painter and surface pattern designer from Stoke-on-Trent, with a history of working as a designer in the ceramics industry. Now working as a freelance painter and painting instructor, Louise said about her approaqch to this project
I love to use watercolours, gouache, pencils, pastels, collage ... anything can work. I like to start ideas with an inkling about what will happen, although, of course I make the decisions. I gather colours and textures on bits of paper, play with arrangements, marks and composition. It's important to be open to changing and discarding ideas, to things not working. It's also important to me, to keep making work with no obvious destination.
