  • Oil Painting of the Dart River by Noel Hefele

    Currently Showing: Dart River and Windwhistle Cottage

    This oil painting measure 4 feet square. If you are in the Totnes area this August, stop by the lovely Fat Lemons Cafe on Ticklemore Street. In my humble opinion, they make the best cappuccino in Totnes. They are exhibiting paintings from my current work on a rotating schedule. The Dart River has been on…

  • Buckham’s Park Barn

    ,

    This oil painting measure 4 feet square. I discovered Buckham’s Park Barn on the Dartington Estate during my walks. It is a late 18th century ruin of what I assume was an agricultural building. The ruin has been surrounded with a portable metal fence since I’ve first come across it. This was the first larger…

  • Walk through a field barefoot.

    ,

    Today, after swimming in the Dart River, I walked barefoot up a sloped field to get to Dartington College of Arts.  (The shell of what is left there)  I found it very interesting that the field was sporadically covered in thorny plants that hurt my feet.  I thought about the cows that normally graze on…

I am planning to exhibit 11 of these…

  • Representation of Space in Space

    I’ve been reading Edward Soja’s Thirdspace (1996) and Postmodern Geographies (1989) and Perceptions of the Environment (2000) by Tim Ingold. “Space hides consequence from us now.”  (Berger in Soja 1989 p.22) Space does hide consequence from those who have power..  We throw out rubbish and it goes ‘somewhere.’  We use electricity that comes from ‘somewhere.’ …

  • Ultimate dART. Dartington MA SHOW 2010. My video.

    ,

    A bunch of the MA students are making short videos to advertise the upcoming MA show at Dartington College of Arts this July 20-22nd. I took a time lapse video of the beginnings of a painting at 30 second intervals. I believe there are 24 frames per second, translating to roughly 12 minutes represented by…
