Roxy Walsh: The Lady Watercolourist
No full textThe exhibition consisted of a series of paintings made in 2007-8 called Lady Watercolourist At Home, as well as a wall painting made in and for the space.
The paintings are made in watercolour on paper, small-scale, brightly coloured and full of pattern and incident that can be funny, sad, baffling and tender. The images flit seamlessly between abstraction and cartooning, the round eyes of the assorted characters look out from the paintings, a red tongue licks a brilliant yellow sky and a green owl with round black suns for eyes clings to the end of a branch.
These works posit painting as an arena where different registers of expression can coexist and proliferate, from the expletive to the absorbing, from the figurative to the formal and diagrammatic.
The paintings come into being through making rather than planning, and the materiality of paint is central to the images. Almost all of Walsh’s work for the last ten years has been in watercolour, usually on an intimate scale, but at times reaching up to 40’ long.
Watercolour is the simplest of paints: there is very little between the pigment and the paint, so colours have naturally different consistencies, transparencies, viscosities, opacities. So, as a poet uses words for their meanings and their sounds and sibilance, so painters slide and elide marks, descriptions, colours, surfaces.
As Leonora Carrington wrote in The Hearing Trumpet:
"I had often thought of writing poetry myself but getting words to rhyme with each other is difficult, like trying to drive a herd of turkeys and kangaroos down a crowded thoroughfare and keeping them all neatly together without looking in the shop windows. There are so many words, and they all mean something.

Outwith
Full text linkOutwith is a collaboration between Sally Underwood and Roxy Walsh. Their ongoing research explores co-habitation, shelter, dwelling and time, exploring how gallery space is inhabited and lived by the bodies within it. Dwellings and small architectures are central to these explorations: artworks sited within other artworks.
UnderwoodWalsh were invited by Jessica Kenney to make a site specific installation for Art Exchange, the gallery of the University of Essex, for January/February 2015.
The campus is a spectacular collection of largely brutalist buildings set in Wivenhoe park, rolling parkland made famous by John Constable’s 1816 painting. The predominant materials on campus are concrete and engineering brick. Though faced with 1980’s (bijou postmodern) brick patterns, the building that houses Art Exchange has a heart of concrete like the others.
At Art Exchange, ‘shelter’ or location was provided a putative tree, echoing both the parkland of the campus and the shuttered concrete structure at the centre of the gallery building. Its exposed roots were bracketed by small walls of engineering brick and kindling in response to the spectacular use of engineering brick in the North Towers. The thin blue light of winter was echoed in watercolour above, and painted panels punctuated the space - sometimes pictorially but more often spatially, alongside large passages of painting directly onto the walls. Parkland outside of the gallery was made visible again by the uncovering of a picture window that had been walled in for a number of years.
An accompanying text was commissioned from George Vase
Mathematical Characteristics of the ROXY Index (IV) : ROXY Index as Compared with Correlation Coefficient
Full text linkapplication/pdfThe ROXY index serves as an instrument for the investigation into the stage and speed of the process of spatial convergence and divergence observed on various socio－economic activities． This paper investigates the basic mathematical characteristics of the ROXY index， focusing upon（i）the functional relationships of the ROXY index with the correlation coefficient and regression coefficient， and（ii）the similarity and difference between the ROXY index and correlation coefficient in mathematical characteristics， The results of the investigation show， as indicated in a summary table that the ROXY index possesses several characteristics advantageous to empirical analyses on the dynamic process of the phenomena of spatial redistribution of socio－economic activities．departmental bulletin pape
