Dylan Thomas and other dreams by Bonnie Hawkins
30 November @ 10:30 am – 4:00 pm
More than 20 remarkable images will go on display at the end of November at The Bath & County Club, Queens Parade BA1 2NJ (between Queen Square and Royal Victoria Park). They are the illustrations from a new edition of Under Milk Wood, the masterpiece of language created by Dylan Thomas.
Bonnie Hawkins first took up her pencil and began creating an image depicting the world of Captain Cat, the retired blind sea captain, more than 20 years ago. The subsequent results are spectacular, both in terms of the art itself, its humour and detail and complexity, and the way in which the style mirrors the text.
The illustrations are, just like the text of the radio play, both elusive and intimate, disruptive and extraordinary.
Bonnie Hawkins will be on hand to talk about her work and sign copies of the book between 10.30am and 4.00pm on Saturday and Sunday 23rd and 24th November and the exhibition will also be open 10.30 to 4.00pm Tuesday 26th to Saturday 30th November and Tuesday 3rd to Friday 6th December.
