Outside In: The Magazine - Issue 1, Summer 2021

Outside In Magazine Issue 1 - Summer 2021

Welcome

“Outside In has always provided a platform for artists who face barriers to the art world due to isolation, disability, mental health and economic hardship.

As the pandemic has continued, those barriers have increased and, in response, so must Outside In’s work.”

- Marc Steene, Outside In founder and director

For over fifteen years Outside In has been providing a platform for artists who face barriers to the art world. In this last year the pandemic has created an unprecedented challenge for many of our artists. The barriers they face to access the art world have become even harder to overcome in these times when social contact has been so minimised. There have been even fewer opportunities for physical meetings, shows, curation and learning.

I have been so proud of the Outside In team’s efforts to find new ways to keep channels of communication open with all of our artists.

Already well represented in the digital space they have forged ahead with the new interactive web site, strengthened social media and a new podcast offering to keep people connected.

But they also recognised that for some of our artists, computers and other means of digital access are not easily available or welcome. This magazine has been created to recognise that a physical, paper-based means of communication is still an important part of life for many artists. We hope you enjoy the content.

Lockdown Postcards Artist Erika Flowers returned to creating postcards – something she did to document her time in prison – to capture the events and emotions of the Covid pandemic and life under a different lockdown.

Erika said: “Drawing an aspect of the Lockdown that I was aware of during that day became an evening ritual. The fact that the first ones are black and white I think is quite apt in telling of the bleak outlook that we were all facing!”

Details can now be announced for the solo show which was awarded first prize to Outside In artist Alan Payler as part of the 2019 National exhibition ‘Environments’.

Blue Sky by Alan Payler

Pink Flowers by Alan Payler

The exhibition will have an engagement programme that aims to connect artists and audiences from all of England. Outside In will have an opportunity to work in a new way, using digital and printed media to extend its reach and overcome visitors barriers to arts engagement.

Speaking about Alan’s work Grayson Perry, who was one of the judges, said: “Art is a purely subjective thing. The winning work was the work of art that most closely aligned with something I would be happy to make myself and gave me joy. Also it was like something I had never seen before. I would very much like to come and see Alan’s solo show in Brighton.” | 17

Artist Development Update Top tips for refreshing your online gallery

1. When writing your artist statement, be

authentic and ask yourself what is unique about you and your work? Try not to use complicated language. If you need inspiration, why not look at other artist statements? Working out why they stand out will help you to write yours.

2. Pictures are worth a thousand words. You

don’t need a fancy camera as smartphones work well and even allow you to crop pictures. Always aim for natural lighting and neutral backgrounds Chocolates and Flowers Bring the Sunshine by too to make sure your art work stands out.

Artist Development Midlands This opportunity started just after my application for a remote residency with Outside In and The New Art Gallery Walsall was successful. A remote residency was perfect for me as it removes my barrier of not being able to be physically present.

Our Mental Health Archive by Corinne Corinne reveals how technology and opportunities have allowed her to be an artist from the confines of her bed.

In January I was selected as a Midlands Hub Featured Artist. This gave me both the platform and confidence to create and show my first video piece ‘Dear Voices’. The self-portrait work explores the process of painting the nature I long to be within on my bedsheets and skin, after my voices forbid me from leaving home..

For the residency I engaged with online audiences in a dialogue around mental health in the context of Covid-19, drawing on anonymous contributions to create an installation within my bed, upon my pillows, bedsheets and nightie.

The pandemic had a debilitating effect upon my already fragile mental health and I believe we are in a mental health crisis.

I revealed the installation via zoom and welcoming the audience into my bedroom and showing my work was a moving experience. The shift from in-person events to digital has opened up my world. I’m deeply thankful to Outside In and The New Art Gallery Walsall for the opportunities and making me believe I can be an artist and take part even from bed. | 19

Step Up Training Update Applications open for new courses.

Estelle Woolley Interview How would you describe your work?

Estelle Woolley shares how art has given her a sense of purpose and how Covid has inspired her latest body of work.

I minimally and poetically use materials, which are often very fragile, to explore possible narratives and layers of meaning.

By subtle manipulation I hope to renew a sense of curiosity, while always highlighting the beauty inherent in the forms used.

The work is multidisciplinary in nature, (and can include performance, sound art, photography) but most often utilises object juxtaposition.

What inspires you?

Rainbow Meadow 22 |

The cyclical element of the processes in nature inspires me, as do the insignificant details that we might often pass by. I am interested in ways that we work with or against nature; how we

react and intervene, and how nature responds back at a domestic level and beyond. I am often drawn to fragile, natural materials which resonate with me, which are often macabre. I enjoy the play between attraction and repulsion within my work and provoking a feeling within the viewer.

How has Covid impacted your work?

These photographs were originally conceived for a commission with Chester Virtual Bandstand, where the call out was to create work inspired by the pandemic. With limited access to my studio during lockdown, I was restricted with my use of materials and decided to use what I could find around me during my daily walks. I adapted to the situation and have found myself exhibiting and promoting myself through several online platforms. I have enjoyed, and embraced, sharing my work in online exhibitions and magazines, whereas before this year I had only physically exhibited in the traditional way.

Sneeze | 23

What is your process?

I continued the practice of ‘daily walking’ at the start of lockdown which spilled over into my artistic practice. My series of facemasks were composed of delicate and ephemeral natural materials, foraged from my walks in the countryside. I have been homing in on my immediate surroundings, paying close attention to the plant life as it comes in and out of season and collecting objects and materials which spark interest or meaning, then assembling these onto a mask and taking a self portrait. These materials change as the seasons change. Early masks in the series were made from buttercups, dandelion clocks and forget me nots, for example, each with their own narratives. Other masks used more macabre materials such as black butterflies, bees, and a wasp nest. While as we transcended into Autumn/Winter the masks were made.

achievement, I really believe that it is food for the soul and the process of creating art has been very beneficial to my wellbeing over the years.

What role does art play in your life?

Art gives me a great sense of purpose and Calm 24 |

Chris Hoggins Covid Diaries

Christopher Hoggins, an Outside In artist who ‘lives beside the seaside with far too many toys’ shares how he’s produced a book during the pandemic and how his next work will be his most personal.

Tell us about your Covid diaries…

They started as a coping mechanism, a way of becoming a distanced observer rather than a participant in some rather traumatic events.

How have they been received?

Pretty well on the whole, I think I’ve got the balance right. I don’t think something like this can be judged now as this is an event that will become history. A historical document? That’s probably a bit of a pretentious thought though.

What are you working on next?

My ideal home

I just found out that at 50 years old, I’ve had autism my whole life and never known. I want to create a puzzle book along the lines of Kit William’s ‘Masquerade’ but the mystery being how did I not pick up such obvious signs? | 25

Cathy Chilly Interview

Cathy Chilly shares how creativity helped her during lockdown and resulted in her capturing Covid on canvas in a series of 48 paintings.

Could you tell us about lockdown, and the role being creative had for you during that time?

Yes, a very hard period, a period which we have never known in our lifetimes. Most certainly the smaller things have become more relevant which has been quite nice. I definitely think that people have slowed down and that is really nice as well.

I think everyone has really got a bit more time to say hello across the street and things like that. And lots of people are trying to help other people which is really, really nice. I think because we are not going out it has opened the doors to more creativity.

I think for myself, I have enjoyed the quiet and the being able to stop. So you can get on with something else which you might want to do rather than a normal life or working and things like that.

So yes, it has been very different, and I know it has 26 |

Tea Break

been hard for a lot of people but there have been some sides to it that have been very interesting and quite good in the fact people have slowed down.

Did you find it helped to fuel your creativity and provide room for it?

It did actually. I really feel it did yes. It is such an unusual subject and so unusual to find ourselves in that situation. Something, perhaps, that people used to experience all the time before we had vaccinations. Even childhood illnesses were very bad. I think people had what we are experiencing today, all the time, it was part of life and we have become a little bit adjacent to that.

So it is a really unique situation for people of our time. Which is interesting.

there, and I look at them everyday. And they live with me now. And I am very happy to see them.

They are colourful, even through some of them are quite sad – I am pleased I did them. And it flew past, actually, that bit. Because I was managing to do – say – one per every four days.

Everyday you saw something that you had not seen before, a different feeling – rushing to get food, supermarkets, the shock of panic buying, things like that.. it was so different. We have never seen that have we?

So it was a good moment to re-evaluate our lives and how lucky we have been really, up until now.

Do you find it a nice feeling to know you have got the paintings and because of them you have captured it in some way?

Yeah I do, I really really do. I’ve put my coronavirus paintings on the wall, and there are another 24 over | 27

Henry Boxer Interview

Art collector Henry Boxer recalls his first encounter with Madge Gill’s work and why he thinks appreciation for ‘outsider art’ is changing.

What do you think of the term ‘Outsider art’?

It’s really just a label, for ease of conveying ‘what it is’ or ‘what it means’, it’s a signpost, not the thing itself. Like a finger pointing at the moon.

There are terms or classifications which I feel come closer to the substance, as in Dubuffet’s term ‘Art Brut’, literally Raw Art, also self-taught, marginal art or possibly ‘visionary art’.

But none of these are able to illicit the true nature of the beast, you need to feel, see, and experience the Art itself, that is the beauty and magic, and enigma of what we are trying to communicate, or what is being communicated.

Do you think the appreciation for such art has changed? If so, how? And how would you like it to change further?

28 |

Madge Gill ‘Untitled’, c.1940, ink on card, Henry Boxer Gallery

I do, people and collectors have become much more knowledgeable and understanding over the last 25 years or so, through the display of work at specialist art fairs, museum shows and exhibitions, through social media and literary publications.

Although this field was discussed, appreciated and was hugely influential to art movements, such as; the Expressionists and Surrealists in the 1920’s and early 30’s, Hans Prinzhorn’s publication ‘The Artistry of The Mentally Ill’ Morgenthaler’s book ‘Madness and Art’ about Adolf Wölfli - which was also published in that period.

And of course there was Dubuffet’s huge influence, the subsequent opening of Collection de l’Art Brut in Lausanne, and groundbreaking ‘Outsiders’ exhibition at the Hayward in 1979. I feel that all these things have laid down the roots for ongoing appreciation.

of the Estate at Christies, South Kensington, I believe in 1985.

I already had an interest in several artists who were connected to the occult, and mediumism, and when I was given this rare opportunity to actually purchase the extraordinary creations of this art brut master, I jumped at the chance.

I bought large numbers of her drawings and large calicos, as well as hundreds of her exquisite pen and ink ‘self-portrait’ heads on postcard – all astounding, magical and communicating another realm/reality.

What are your hopes for the exhibition?

To disseminate and educate, and allow for the discovery of this truly unique English artist to a wider audience.

When did you first come across Madge Gill’s work – and why were you drawn to it?

I first discovered Madge Gill’s work in an auction | 29

Julia Oak and Madge Gill All Souls: The Outside In Co-commission 2020 explored creative connections and the intuitive way of working that unites the work of Julia Oak with that of Madge Gill, a widely celebrated self-taught artist.

Julia Oak was awarded the commission as her ‘beautiful and distinctive drawings’ and her deep personal engagement with the work of Madge Gill made her proposal stand out to the selectors.

This connection was illustrated in both Oak’s threemetre long drawing ‘Enter These Enchanted Woods’, her numerous sketchbooks and an art film of her creative process, which sat alongside works by Madge Gill from the Pallant House Gallery collection and private collections.

Speaking at the launch event for the exhibition, she said it had been an ‘amazing’, ‘confidence building’ opportunity and had seen her realise dreams she didn’t know she had.

The co-commission is made possible thanks to the John Booth Charitable Trust. Julia created a film and audio guide for the exhibition which can be seen at www. outsidein.org.uk

Reviews of All Souls “There was an incredible selection of submissions. But one really stood out to us.

Julia spoke with such passion and we all loved how she really opened our eyes to the work of Madge Gill. We knew she’d respond in an exciting way - and she has totally delivered on that,” said Simon Martin, director of Pallant House Gallery. “It does really live up to the ‘all souls’ title. My congratulations must go to Julia for producing such a wonderful exhibition.”

“I found it inspirational being involved with the selection process. After seeing Julia’s work I felt I could connect with it. I feel her patterns draw the viewer into another dimension.”

Natasha H, artist and co-commission selector.

Paper Sculptures Hi to all you creatives! My name is Stuart Milburn. This is a step by step guide of my paper sculpting workshop. I hope you enjoy this workshop!

The aim of this workshop is to create a paper sculpture using basic materials. In this workshop, we will be using paper. Paper is easy to use to create unusual and fun shapes.

You will need these materials: • Plain paper • A piece of card for the base • Glue • Scissors 32 |

Step 1.

Prepare your base. This can be any piece of hard card taken from a cardboard box. Cut this into a square of around 20 x 20 cm.

Step 2.

With your paper, cut, tear, and fold into shapes and patterns of your choice.

Step 3.

Arrange and position your pieces onto the base and glue them into place. Keep adding and removing until you are happy with what you see.

Step 4.

You have now created your paper sculpture.

Step 5.

As an additional activity, focus on your sculpture to reveal shadows. What shapes and colours can you see? Draw your findings with a pencil.

Step 6.

Take time to view your sculpture to explore the shapes, then photograph what you see. | 33

Clay

With this guide you can make a flat shaped Dogu or a 3D figure - or both!

For the flat figure Hello, my name is Maddie Millett. I’m an Outside In artist and have taken part in the Step Up: Leading Workshops training.

This is my guide for making a small clay figure based on the ancient Japanese Dogu. Dogu means ‘earthen figure’. The figures date back to the Jomon (meaning ‘cord marked’) period 2,500BC to 300BC and were used in sacred rituals.

You will need: • A pack of clay, at least 500g (air-drying is fine) • A small bowl of water and a sponge • A knife or pointed tool and string to decorate your figure • A piece of card or wooden board to rest your figure on 34 |

Step 1.

For the flat figure, take a piece of clay and flatten it onto your board using your fingers or palms. If you have a rolling pin you can use that, but be careful not to roll it too thin as it may stick.

Step 2.

Shape the figure using your knife or sharp tool by cutting an outline - you can then pull away the excess clay, leaving the figure shape.

Step 3.

Impress the string into the clay while still wet to achieve the ‘cord marked’ patterns of the original Dogu. You can also create lines and patterns with your knife or tool by lightly incising lines.

For the 3D figure Step 5.

For the 3D figure, take a larger piece of clay and begin to mould it with your hands squeezing and smoothing to create the form of the figure. Tap the bottom of the figure on a flat surface to make it steady if you would like it to stand up.

Step 6.

Air drying clay takes 24-36 hours to dry, depending on thickness - it will be fragile once dry so please handle carefully. Your figure can be painted and varnished once dry if you wish.

Step 7.

I hope you enjoyed making your clay Dogu figure and that you will continue to create with clay, it is such a fun and versatile medium. | 35
