TITLE "She passed on of pneumonia," he told sympathizers, "up in the high mountains of California".


Oil Pastel

2011

SIZE 40 x32 cm

SALE PRICE £88

ARTIST STATEMENT This strange and unusual story takes place in 1910 London, with Dr. Crippen husband of Cora- or Belle Elmore as she called her self professionally.
She was murdered by her husband after he turned his interests to other women, namely his secretary, Ethel Clara Le Neve.

On March 26, Crippen inserted a notice of his wife's death in the Era magazine. " She passed on of pneumonia," he told sympathizers, "up in the high mountains of California".

The sound of sewing machines

Trickles of rain
Slowly racing down
The window
I make a guess
At which drop will win
Some join onto others
and fall faster
Maybe this is cheating
But I’ve always turned a blind eye

My mother arranges herself
Foot ready, waiting
On the pedal
She has been gathering scraps and
Threads for a while now
To turn into masterpieces
A tomboy like me
Will never wear

I colour out of the lines
But she still tells me it’s beautiful
Without her even looking
Instead her eyes glisten as
The first seem has been made

The whirl of this machine
Sings a duet
With the falling rain
It’s just another Sunday.

Philippa Edwards

TITLE Olympus Engulfed


COLLOGRAPH PLATE

ARTIST STATEMENT Philippa Edwards works primarily in printmaking and low relief. Her work in this exhibition shows her recent interest in displaying the plate from which her prints are created. This collograph plate is made by building up layers of adhesive, paper, card and shellac.

Olympus Engulfed reflects on the turmoil created by the Olympics coming to the East End of London. The plans make changes that are geographic, political and social. Philippa explains "[the work] often focuses on the balance of power between the individual and the Establishment." On the subject of the Olympic building programme she comments ". . . choices are made by bureaucrats that are seen to be 'good for' the general public however many local people find the disruption to travel and landscape disconcerting and do not necessarily relish the 'benefits' they will reputedly reap at the end of the process. Many others, including businesses and sports-people, are more enthusiastic and are looking forward to the spectacle and raised profile that having the games in Britain will provide".

ARTIST STATEMENT The Baby Doll are born from the dreams and nightmares that are in every persons mind. Although they started out as a representation of Eve as a child, they have now developed into something that is alien to us. It is of all sex and none, and twisted and broken.

Read into it what you will, I have my own meanings for it, just as you will have you own.

Melvyn Browne

Havisham’s loss

Pitiful ugly witch with hatred of that loathed assassin of her heart
What course to take from life’s mistaken love to hide to run
Loves damage done to death these restless years
Talk till mind was dry; remember what was said, of nothing

No release as time cracked down, whilst flesh and bones reseed
Twisted thoughts not shared but for the mirror; which lies.
Stilted uncertain hand grasped tight, sticks polished handle.
Lent forward, back so bent nair straight again sat on withered hollowed chair

Fires sparking caught little of half closed eyes that weakened with the glow
Head moving to and fro. Old dress so loose on frame obtuse to change
Dusty strands, white so long, extinguished thoughts of golden tresses
No hope but end of ends itself, thence taken from, life’s lonely shelf

Sacred                                                             14/5/2007

Thunder breaking from the ground
Swirling clouds of dust abound
Nostrils flair to acrid air
Suicidal brave may dare

Cuts from scorching bright to black
To return, is far away
Loaded near to breaking back
Through the night until they say

Machines of death and butchery
Made to shape our history
Only used when needs be?
Crushing forward, for liberty?

Do Christians go to war for gain?
For essence far below the earth?
Make reasons for to change our view.
Substantiating rumored lies?

Thousands now are dead
For what the politicians said
No greater liability
Than take my life away from me

Trapped

Locked into the wilderness of your mind
How when or where you will never find
The exit closed as you went in
A million doors for that cardinal sin

Black or white you see all right
In colour too, all are bright
Action taken from your hand
Best get to grips and understand

Your trapped no other place to go
See you can but have no control
Travel to the farthest depths
No pain received, no one wept

Suspended in a labyrinth
Always sitting on the brink
Not your call, to even blink
You have been left, to only think

Trapped inside you own mind
Retribution, of the very worst kind
On show to the world, you are a cabbage
Educated, but you were a savage

Devised by those that hated evil
Were protecting all the other people
Who want a live without the strife
Won’t countenance those, that take a life

That injection they gave you, paralyzed
Every muscle of every size
You are doomed forever, to haunt yourself
For taking a life, from someone else

Ha Ha

Melvyn 1st April fool’s day 2009

The moral of the story is
 there are far worse punishments than death
 trust me!

Standing in the rain
Another year were here again
Lucky to be alive
Were here because you heroes died

Remember you? We cannot forget
Your sacrifice, in history set
To offer those who made it home
Freedom from a savage foe

What tortures suffered, heaven knows
From your blood spilt, a new world grows
But much as common man may like
Our leaders bring us back to fight

It is the greed, a fault of man
To take up arms and fight again
The glory that we once knew
Hard to believe, that it was true

Standing in the rain
Another year were here again
Since you gave your lives
There’s been more wars and millions died

TITLE Havisham’s death                   

Sudden end to life’s expectations
Broken word like knife to heart
Bloody wretch would be a killing
For unkept promises

Introverted time stopped still
Rationale would love to kill
Detestation of his every fibre
For a thousand lies did tell

Mangled thoughts enveloping
All reason lost to hatred
Trapped inside an injured mind
For loathing of all mankind

A hundred years count every second
Frail and bent by fear and hate
Consolation from no quarter
For still being at the alter

End nigh with her
So sad a loss
Whole life forsaken
At last is taken

Melvyn  14th September 2010  

Poetry (Reading)

ARTISTS STATEMENT The aim of my work is to detail the poignancy of the human condition, the national travesties that occur in form of warfare, heart break and desire. Through the medium of poetry and other forms of literature, I hope to evoke empathy in the spectator through the emotive nature of the written word
