| Canons Drive |
I found lots of photographs of Canons Drive
| Found a piece of family history Leng Armac cards |
Buying shoes - noticing that the Vans shoe logo had similarities to the Vulkaset logo my mother did about 1955 or 1956 commented on it at the Vans shop.
| Marcia had a baby book but never was written up |
Marcia's baby book was the same of mine printed on the cover with her name
| Leigh family photographs from late 1930s and 1941 |
I found lots of old photographs probably from Rose which were originally my grandmothers
| Gwen died in January 2021 |
After several years at Hyman Fine House, the Jewish Care home in Brighton our mother Gwen died.
| Gwen - her singing |
Gwen sang throughout our lives from her time singing for Ensa in Canada during the war.
| Gwen in Canada |
We found a whole pile of photographs of my mother in Canada where she was between 1939 at the start of the war and 1946 when she came to the UK.
| My baby photographs |
My mother kept a detailed record of my early years - I think probably until she became pregnant with my sister
| Family photographs |
I decided that as well as videos and family films it would be interesting to have a repository of family films
| Videos and family films now online |
I have transferred the old family films and pictures and placed them on the web. For the videos and films I have put them onto a youtube clone.
| Life Drawing |
When I came back to do artwork after many years of working as I did as a Chartered Accountant both in the City and also running a public company I started life drawing. I then went back to do foundation, a degree in printmaking and then a masters and my artwork was primary printmaking.
| My artwork - where is it going |
I have had problems for a couple of years after an illness and bad back made it difficult to stand and cope with the weight of screen printing. Glass is very heavy and I badly damaged my back on a large piece of glass which remained for ages in the kiln.
| Barry's new artwork |
When I realised that I could no longer cope with the weight of screens and media I had little choice but to think about the future and my artwork post having the studio. Initially this was trying digital and also going back to doing more life drawing. Neither reached the spot. Dana suggested that I go back to Architecture which I should have done some nearly fifty years ago.
