Happy to announce my latest PINStallation is at Museum Of Croydon ‘housing’ the portrait of Stormzy and his mum Abigail Owuo, photographed by Olivia Rose (part of the National Portrait Gallery permanent collection) and currently on loan at the museum until 28th September 2019.
COMING HOME is a major project which will see the National Portrait Gallery lend portraits of iconic individuals to places across the UK with which they are most closely associated.…
“Ideas for days, but execution pays!” – A personal quote I live by, afterall, we all have them…ideas…few take action, most don’t…glad I did on this one…
So the Museum of Croydon were organising their first #ClocktowerLate event to commemorate the 100 years since WW1, and suggested I get involved to do some sort of Peace mural. I got thinking, like really explored the notion of Peace, how war effects it and what it means to people today.…
‘Plate of Peace’ anyone? – A unifying art installation engaging audiences into serving their peace through design, one plate at a time🌹
To commemorate 100 years since World War 1, Museum of Croydon will be holding a Clocktower Late on Friday / 6-9pm – a free event showcasing the impact of the war through music, art & film. I’ll be in full peace making engagement mode, so feel free to pop by, grab a plate and serve your peace – which will be exhibited alongside others to form a bigger peace of the plate pie until 13th Nov.…
My Artist Residency at Museum of Croydon is now over…:(
Can honestly say the Vibe® during my Residency at the Croydon Clocktower over the last month, connecting with a super diverse audience was unique and humbling, all through art & personal engagement, all in-flow, all in…MAKING CONNECTIONS, CHANGING PERCEPTIONS®…think I’ve found my ‘thing’, so will continue…Big love to all those who made it down, connected & and even had a cuppa with, I truly value these sublime off-line moments…and special shout out to the Museum team for being super accommodating and allowing me to ‘do my thing’, Thankyou ❤️
I’ll be doing a month long Artist Residency with a full on #PINStallation taking shape over the time period, in the hope to not only raise more awareness that the place even exists (only realised it was here a year or so ago), but more importantly to connect & engage with wider a demographic through art, especially young people, those who may not be familiar with the likes of the Tates & V&As, or cos travelling up to London ain’t cheap, and sometimes just wanting something in local settings that they can actually relate to, in some way, would make sense…anyway, I’m gonna be at the Museum from the 25th Aug onwards, feel free to drop by, connect, and please spread the word if you know of any young creatives or whoever that may benefit making a visit down or from taking part in my series of ‘Tech A Break Here’ Workshops, one of which kicked off today, designed to get you off them phones and into full creative zones, peacefully…
