'Out of Sync' an installation by Fernando Casasempere

Fri, 06 Apr 2012 20:06:00 +0100

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!

My postcard in 'art/words/postcardwall:a catalogue'

Tue, 20 Mar 2012 21:57:00 +0000

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!

Sun, 28 Aug 2011 15:41:00 +0100

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!
