Welcome to
the Christil Trumpet website.
'Christil Trumpet' is an artistic collaborative between
Orkney-based artists Matilda
Tumim and Christopher
Prendergast, with support from their three sons, Josh
(13), Theo (10) and Erlend (8).
+ why christil trumpet?
Christil Trumpet is a shortened, bawdy anagram made from
the two artists' names - Matilda Tumim
and Christopher Prendergast.
Making art
together
is
a natural
extension
of their shared life. For them, collaboration is a symbiotic
process and it is their common intention to provoke thoughts
about the nature of beauty through their artwork.

of Art (RCA), graduating in 1987. They moved from London
to Orkney in 1989 and lived in Herston, South Ronaldsay,
before moving to Stromness, where they have lived ever
