Laura’s art relies on her knowledge and experimentation and skill to make the material replicate the experience of looking at the subject.

Artist Profile: Jason Avery

Renowned for his beautiful landscape photography, Jason Avery is making quite a name for himself both locally and further afield. Yet unbelievably, just five years ago, Jason had never picked up a camera for anything more than a holiday snap. 'Ten years ago I was struck down with ME and my life changed overnight,' says Jason. 'I went from being an active retail manager with three children and a busy family life to someone who struggled to even walk down stairs.' Then, five years ago, Jason was walking past a camera shop with his wife Annalise and felt the urge to pop in. 'I've no idea why but it just seemed the right thing to do,' says Jason. 'I knew nothing about cameras but I had ÂŁ70 in my pocket and walked out with one.' Back home, Jason started taking photos in his back garden and was instantly hooked. 'I fell in love with photography that very day and found a purpose again after feeling lost for so long,' says Jason. 'From that day on I devoured every photography book going and managed to start learning from my mistakes.' Soon, friends and family began praising his work. 'Despite my confidence going down the drain, they managed to persuade me to show my photos to a local gallery in Saxmundham who agreed to take my work on,' says Jason. 'It was an amazing feeling.'

It wasn't long before Jason had his first exhibition in a barn on a local Alpaca Farm. 'I was terrified but lots of people showed up and I sold my first piece,' he said. Since then, Jason has exhibited at major galleries including at Snape Maltings. 'Quite a few people with ME have been to see my exhibitions and I love being able to show them that you can do something amazing with your life despite the diagnosis,' says Jason. Nine months ago, Jason opened his own gallery in Halesworth and business is going well. He takes commissions and bespoke work and also works commercially for businesses. 'I love my job,' smiles Jason. 'Working with Mother Nature is wonderful. I often go out for the whole day and will wait hours for the perfect shot. In our modern lives it's easy to rush through the day and miss the beauty of the world around you.' Recently, Jason has been making a name for himself working in the infrared medium. 'It's great to be able to look at a scene and see it in a different way to that which our eyes see it,' says Jason. 'Infra-red sees something porous e.g water as a dark colour and anything reflective such as a leaf as light. It creates a fantastic range of colours within the photo. For me photography is art and infrared photography captures the world in a different, surreal, way.'

As a special addition to the exhibition, Alan Kitching will bring a small letterpress to the Lettering Arts Centre for a set of special workshops that will run alongside the exhibition, giving families, school groups and professionals the opportunity to learn typesetting, imposition and printing from a master of the craft.

The exhibition will present a fascinating collection of type, used in a glorious display of expressive colour. A free-ranging collection of sketchbooks, posters, prints, book designs, equipment and assorted artefacts from Alan Kitchingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s south London studio will emphasise the creativity of a man who is steeped in the wood and metal type forms and ink of the letterpress.

Coffee & aChat

Renowned actor Michael Pennington will be taking on the iconic role of King Lear at Cambridge Arts Theatre this month. Here Lucy Johnston catches up with him at the start of his tourâ&#x20AC;Ś. 22 |

www.artseast.co.uk

Coﬀee & a Chat

Sitting across the table from me in the rehearsal room, with fly away white hair and a carefully unkempt beard, Michael Pennington looks absolutely the part. He is one week into his 94-date tour of King Lear, and is thriving on the energy he finds in the role. 'At 72, I might get a bit tired when I go for a walk or when I’m doing the washing up, but I simply never get tired on stage,' he beams, thrilled at the idea of the tour ahead of him. 'Doing extensive tours of full scale Shakespeare is very uncommon these days, but it’s part of a vital old tradition – one that I also upheld when I ran the English Shakespeare Company with Michael Bogdanov in the Eighties. I'm immensely grateful to ATG for letting me revive this precious tradition whereby people all over the country can see King Lear, as it should be seen - at a theatre near you. It remains for me the most exciting way of experiencing such a play.' Serendipitously it transpires that the first time Pennington trod the boards in a Shakespeare play was during April 1964, exactly coinciding with the 400th anniversary of the playwright’s birth. And now, 52 years later, on the day exactly coinciding with the 400th anniversary of the playwright’s death, he is still treading the boards, perfectly suited to this unique tour. 'It’s a strange, but wonderful coincidence – I couldn’t possibly have planned it, just like one can’t plan one’s career, which makes this all particularly special,' he smiles.'It was two years in the making and there are so many moments I look back on and think, if it wasn’t for that thing that happened, or that person, it would never have happened. It makes me very aware of the chances and opportunities that

we do or don’t embrace. And the whole company is fantastic - I couldn’t ask for a better experience.' So how does Michael step into such a powerfully emotive world, every day, and not feel drained by it. 'It might sound strange, but it’s actually enormous fun! It’s always different,' he says. 'At the start it’s like being on a horse that wants to throw you but, gradually, it settles into a thoroughbred that carries you through. For the audience too – it is a horrendously dark, harrowing story, of course it is, but it gives you that incredibly cathartic, cleansing experience – a true release. The astounding language is like a form of nourishment.' And does he feel any sense of pressure in the role, knowing that it’s such a grail for so many actors and since he also brings an anticipated scholarly approach to his interpretation through his respected writing, the highs of his time at the RSC in the 70s, and his founding of the English Shakespeare Company? “Well, if I’m any kind of scholar, I would class myself as of the spit-and-sawdust kind! And it’s certainly very flattering to be in the same room as all the greats who came before. But comparisons I find onerous - there is just so much material to work with, so much wealth, there is certainly no need to feel you are borrowing from others or that there isn’t space for you to make it your own. “And just think - four hundred years and we are still finding new ways to explore his work, and we must continue - even if we might sometimes feel a certain trepidation, we must find a way to make it relevant. Shakespeare was a master of making pictures out of words, his way of helping us see what is not actually there in front of us is still astonishing… he helps us understand humanity, even now. In a way, he has made us who we are. Shakespeare makes us all talented!' King Lear runs from June 29th -25th at the Cambridge Arts Theatre.
