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!
A little bit of news… I have been invited to share my work at Threshold Festival 2018. The event is due to take place in the Baltic Triangle, Liverpool from 13th-14th April. Tickets for the music and arts festival are available from Threshold’s site for either day or the weekend. More details coming soon!

A few photographs from the Material Matters in conversation event held at Saul Hay Gallery on 15th September. The talk was hosted by art historian Sara Riccardi and involved six of the exhibiting artists (Susan Gunn, Rachel Grimshaw, Jane Fairhurst, Tracey Eastham, Diana Terry and me). A thoroughly enjoyable evening with plenty to ponder from the artists involved and the insightful commentary delivered by Sara reflecting on artistic practice in historical context. Look forward to more Art Across events in the future!
