Applied to have this exhibition at H B Smith Antiques in Margate, promoted by the Turner Contemporary and local tourist board and had it accepted, this was my text for the application.
This event aims to challenge the public's perception of an Art Exhibition by housing the work amongst antique objects and blurring the boundaries between contemporary art and objects of desire. The artist intends being available at certain times during the exhibition, creating opportunities to engage with the public in order to gain invaluable feedback. By being part of the celebrations and activities that surround the Turner Prize, a wide selection of the public could potentially be drawn to the shop which could benefit both the artist and the shop owner, Marcus Kenny. The dates for the exhibition are 11th November 2019 - 2nd December 2019 between 12 – 17.30pm. The work I will be showing is the new body of work I have been working on for the past year which will include the small installation, 'Tree Magic' plus other pieces I am working on at present. Forgot to Mention! - Summer School 'Personal Eccologies' at The Drawing Room Gallery, London9/18/2019 Took part in the Drawing Room Summer School during 22nd - 26th July. Fantastic week, albeit very hot! It was headed by artist Tania Kovats with invited artists, Marcus Coates and Sarah Woodfine, and joined by Jane Sassiene. Very inspirational and relevant to my practice at present as it focused on very intense detailed drawing from natural objects with consideration to our personal relationship to these objects. This approach continues to inform my present practice. The large drawing executed near the end of the week came as strange mix of plant and human and seemed as it were, to draw itself.
Had one of my Shibari paintings - Shibari 3 - accepted for the Outsider Art Exhibition on show from the 13th September – 22nd September 2019. The exhibition was open to artists with an unusual take on art work often from outside the established art world. You can visit Candid Arts at https://candidarts.wordpress.com
