Sophie Crockett

I am thrilled to announce that Sophie Crockett - artist, writer, poet has a residency at the Aldeburgh Beach Lookout.

Monday 28th October to Sunday 3rd November

Please come and visit this truly amazing exhibition! Private View with drinks Friday 1st November 4-7pm

'A Murder of Crow or The Venery of Twit' is a short poem written by the artist Sophie Crockett

During her residency week Sophie, who is better known for her oil paintings, will be making a large charcoal drawing at the Lookout, inspired by her poem  'A Murder of Crow', which she has billed as: 'A Twittery of Collective Nouns for Giggles of Reckless Young and Haggles of Cynical Old.' 

(excerpt)

...Then cawing magpies, scorning flapped

To further tree, but one stayed back

An aged and wise-beaked Magpie, he

'For love Crow dies,' he said, 'you'll see.'

If through the wood you must go on,

I'll tell the tale of Crow and Swan...

The book will also be for sale during Sophie's stay (and is available on Amazon: A Murder of Crow: The Venery of Twit.  Paperback by SD Crockett) and Sophie will be working on her drawing from 10-2 each day
