Contemporary Applied Arts: Dail Behennah: "My work is constructed rather than woven and I am preoccupied with line, light and shadow. No longer concerned with function, I create sculptural forms. The three crosses in this exhibition were inspired by one of my favourite beaches, Traeth Mawr in Pembrokeshire. They contain elements of the landscape: the slate cliffs, marram grass on the sand dunes and driftwood on the tide line. X marks the spot, as on a treasure map, and a row of X’s is often used as a sign of affection. The three intersecting circles reflect my interest in geometry and the grid. As the sphere revolves the lines and light constantly change. My degree in geography and an interest in landscape and ecology inform my work, as does the art of the Constructivist movement."

Mission & History - The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art

Mission & History - The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art: "Founded in part by Eric Carle, the renowned author and illustrator of more than 70 books, including the 1969 classic The Very Hungry Caterpillar, The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art is the first full-scale museum in this country devoted to national and international picture book art, conceived and built with the aim of celebrating the art that we are first exposed to as children. Through the exploration of images that are familiar and beloved, it is the Museum’s goal to foster connections between visual and verbal literacy and to provide visitors of all ages and backgrounds with the opportunity to explore their own creativity and the confidence to appreciate and enjoy art of every kind."
