Slick Brussels opens this week, and my work can be found with the Cynthia Corbett stand: Booth 4, Wild Galleries, 11 Rue de Charroi, 1190 Brussels, Belgium.
Today, I went to see this large-scale outdoor installation in the grounds of Somerset House in London. Chilean artist Fernando Casasempre created 10,000 ceramic blooms from chilean clay. With a strong interest in ecology and the environment, the blooms recreate the joy we feel at the site of blossoming flowers, that signal the end of winter and the beginning of spring. Out of Sync is only there until the 27th of April, it is worth visit!
For three days only all postcards from postcard wall are on show at the Mall Galleries, London. Open 10am-5pm 3-5 April, come to see the 300 postcards that have built postcardwall so far. All postcards are accompanied by their text, making collectively over 70,000 words. Entrance is free and all are welcome. And for a sneaky peak…
Sea Fan can be found at number two hundred and forty nine.
Here are some images of my new cut paper works, that will become a new series of light boxes, being shown in Brussels. These works will be lit from behind using an electroluminescent panel, and will be an edition of 12.
Here is a link to a small video featuring an interview with Cynthia Corbett and other gallerists showing ‘art that plugs in’. The video features my LED light box ‘Sea Fan’ at Art Hamptons in America. To watch the video Plugged in, click here.
I am delighted to be part of this exhibition at ‘Mall Galleries’, in London. My work is represented in postcard form, along side with the beautiful description, written by Sophie Hill.
“postcardwall began as a blog about art, inspired by postcards. To celebrate 300 postcards ‘on the wall’ Mall Galleries exhibits the catalogue of both images and words.
Taken from contemporary exhibitions as well as historical collections, each postcard is written about to remember both fleeting and permanent displays. With postcard 1 to 300 spanning history, from BC to 2011, postcardwall aims to demonstrate the wealth of accesible art. “
The exhibition runs from the 3rd to the 5th of April at ‘Mall galleries’, The Mall, London SW1. My postcard is number 249!
Today I have spent a very rainy day in London, at Intaglio Printmakers little studio in Borough. I have been creating the foundations for a new paper construction. ‘Slick’ Brussels opens on the 19th of April.
The Wellbeing Commission for the UCLH Macmillan Cancer Centre was installed this week in the Centre on Huntley Street and is now part of the UCLH Arts Collection. My work joins an exciting collection of new works that have been donated and commissioned by artists including Grayson Perry, Peter Blake, Anthony Gormley and Stuart Haygarth for this exciting new building and excellent cause. The building will open officially on the 2nd April 2012. Thank you to Adam Bridgland and Guy Noble for inviting me to be part of this brilliant project. I hope my work will bring some joy to patients.
I am looking forward to working with the Cynthia Corbett Gallery on a small curated space at SLICK art fair in Brussels, April. I will be showing some new work along side my LED light boxes, in a ‘cabinet of curiosity’ type exhibition! I will post images of the new work as it progresses. I have been busy working on other projects, and realised its been a long time since I posted about my own work! Regular updates will start from now!

I have had a few months off this summer, to get ready for my beautiful wedding to Tom Leighton. Today we visited Epping Forest, to ease me back in to making my work. I am delighted to be part of ‘The sketchbook project’ an exhibition of sketch books that will tour the world, visiting countries such as Canada, America, Australia and the UK and will enter into the permanent collection of The Brooklyn Art Library, where they will be catalogued and available for the public to view. The theme for my sketchbook is ‘through the trees’, so I am looking forward to cutting, sticking and drawing again after a busy few months of making wedding decorations!
John and Sue Hemingway had 28 children round to see the exhibition before it came down yesterday. Hopefully we have inspired some young artists!
My work was recently featured on the Aspergillus Website Blog. The Aspergillus Website is dedicated to providing information on aspergillus, aspergillosis, aspergilloma and other health problems caused by aspergillus.
