Current and Forthcoming Events and Exhibitions
Working Trip to Santa Fe, USA Nov 09
In November I will be visiting my Swedish artists friend, Asa Kvissberg, who is currently living in San Diego. We will then be going to work with Ron Pokrasso at his studio in Santa Fe. We will be joined by another Swedish artist friend, Ewa Carlson.
We met Ron last year at the Santa Reparata International School of Art in Florence and can't wait to work with him again. We will be focusing on non-toxic printmaking techniques including Solarplate,ImageOn, and monoprint - combining the different processes and techniques to produce new experimental works.
Winter Festive Art Fair, the old Bally shoe factory, Norwich Dec 5th/6th
I will be taking part in an 'invited' showing exhibition as part of a festive art fair organised by Targetfollow at the old Bally shoe factory. Hope to see you there ! A great opportunity to select your own Christmas present !!!
Bernard Street, London
I have recently completed a large commissioned piece (1.4m x 3.5m ) for this recently refurbished office building which is the home for tenants such as UK Sport and the Great Ormand Street fundraising charity. Working at this scale was both challenging and exciting (!!) and I would certainly like the opportunity to do more. The piece involved both painting and printmaking techniques and I hope to post images on the site soon.
Gresham's, Holt 29th Jan 2010 ( 2weeks)
A selling exhibition in aid of RNLI - please support this event ! 40% of all sales will go to RNLI. There will also be a raffle of small art works/prints/sketches donated by the artists.
Gallerie Sander, Sweden dtbc
Following working visits to Sweden in 2006, 2007, and 2008, I have been invited to exhibit in Sweden with fellow norfolk artist Jules Allen. Exact details are still to be confirmed ( the exhibition having been delayed due to the gallery owner having suffered a serious road accident).You can see a selection of Jule's work at http://www.julesallenarts.com/
Collaborative Project
I am currently involved in developing a collaborative project with a composer and contemporary dancers.
The background to this project is that, during my exhibition at 'The Space' gallery, I was contacted by Ken Crandell, a composer, who said that he was inspired by my work and would like to compose some music in response. During one of our many conversations I mentioned to that, in hindsight, I often saw dance moves and gestures in my work and thought this may be because I had spent many years dancing as a child and continued well into my twenties. Thus, we thought it may make for a more exciting project to develop a three-way collaboration with visual art, music and dance...........watch this space!!
