I’ll be at the Douglas Fir bar tomorrow 4.30-6.30pm running a coaster painting session, inviting big kids / lil kids / families to join me – all the painted coasters will go up alongside my current work exhibited there…best one wins a PiNS Boomness Bag!
Limited spaces in the small but cosy spot, so if about, pass through – @yardsalepizza will be providing pizza *First come, first yum 😛
My first time being a guest artist in another person’s studio as part of Kindred Open Studios was pretty interesting…it was like an art airbnb, only without the bed / shower / overnight stay vibe…straight pop-up, here I am, here’s my work up in Natasha Hulse’s workspace in which I felt pretty at home to be honest…
The studio space it self was probably almost the perfect artist studio you could ask for…beautiful natural light, two-way access to outside and gallery space, nature vibes out front of window, plants creeping in from outside / inside, a delish curved wall & a buff wooden floor…if the ceiling was a bit higher, just a abit, then ooof…but who’s complaining…360 nature vibes!…
I’ll be poppin’ up at KINDRED STUDIOS for their Open Studios as a guest artist, which should be fun – never been part of a community of artists in one concentrated space as such, as I have a home studio, yet find myself becoming more & more public with my practice, having connected with many artists over many spaces over the years, which have usually led to interesting projects & collaborations, so looking forward to this…
I love traditional arts & crafts, so when I walked into Natasha Hulse’s studio I felt the vibe…textiles, hand painted botanical appliqué, decorative bits on paper, surrounded by nature & sublime natural light…the perfect studio…I’ll pop up here, I thought…
As a guest artist, I’ll be responding to Natasha’s space through my own curated spread of textile artwork & objects which I’ve created over the years, inspired by nature, with a contemporary take on traditional motifs & palettes, to connect with the space as oppose to conflict with it.…
I feel shattered. Not in a bad way, more a feeling of giving your all to something you believe in & love doing, connecting with people through my art…
My artist residency at Brixton Library / Gallery was abit special, so thought I’d go beyond the Gram and actually put down some real weight on a proper blog post, considering the whole premise of the residency was to raise awareness of using too much tech / instant this / instant that, I wanted to capture the moments lived in a more meaningful way, beyond the up down scrolls & quick fire likes on a phone.…
