Gary Freemantle and mud



Gary's new show Mud Monster literally uses mud as its primary medium. Gary started experimenting with mud in 2003 when it turned up on his doorstep after a flood in the town where he lived.

He started with landscapes (see below) but this new work deals with the figure, and includes a series of portraits that seems to disintegrate or fade out of the picture right before your eyes.
