JOSH SUTTON

ARTIST & FOOD WRITER

Josh writes books, draws and makes paintings

He is the only one-time committee member of The Guild

of Food Writers who took-up skateboarding at

the age of fifty-one and is still shredding. He is no longer

on the committee, but still an enthusiastic member.

Painting

This is a series of paintings with collage/mixed media inspired by a fascination with typewriters. A pre-digital age when words were physically hammered out on to paper. Words that the owners of those typewriters leave for us to ponder. I'm interested in the way that paint moves across the board and interacts with its adjacent colour, directing the eye over the composition.
