I am thrilled to announce that my work will be included in an upcoming title from Library X “WordPower: Language as Medium” (edited by Sarah Peace). The book will include pieces from established, mid career and emerging artists whose artistic practices and projects are realised primarily with text. It is due to be released late 2018.
Upcoming Solo Show: Salford Museum and Art Gallery
Not long until “Beyond the Linear” at Salford Museum and Art Gallery (running from Saturday, 8th December 2018 to Sunday, 28th April 2019). Lots of exciting things planned for my first big solo… I can’t wait to bring it all together! For more information please watch this space, connect with me on social media or visit their site.
Performance at Chester Bandstand
Yesterday I took part in the first ever site specific live art performance at Chester Bandstand; a beautiful riverside venue located in The Groves. Beginning at 2pm, the piece was created by responding to the location and the bandstand structure. Was great fun to be a part of their summer programme and the weather was thankfully extremely kind to us (only a little drizzle and gusts of wind to contend with!). It even delivered a rainbow at the culmination of events – a delightful surprise!
Goodbye Artwork Atelier, Hello Wellington Studios!
Moving in day today! Thrilled to pick up the keys to my new space at Wellington Studios over in Ancoats. Will be a little while before I can move in properly as everything is still being built / kitted out and I have some painting to do with my new studio buddy Sabine Kraft…
Really lovely to have been able to make the move with a number of fellow Artwork Atelier artists too following the sad news that the building we had called home for a number of years was earmarked for demolition.
