Art From London Markets, a-n feature

This week started with confirmation that I have a block of paid work for six weeks which will be great for my finances.  I had had an awful week the week before, but this week, this week kept getting better and better, I went to see Fujiko Nakaya at the Tate.  It is beautiful, playful and somehow sinister all at the same time, a little nature smuggled into the city.

So then my daughter and I travelled up to Lincolnshire for the most tentative research into the county where I was born, because this week I also got the news that I had been selected for a one woman exhibition in a small public gallery for 2019.  I received the confirmation letter today.

My favourite landscape we visited was The Wash

The project will not actually be based around the Wash but nearer to Corby Glenn, so this is just background….

Yesterday happily I also found out that I have had a piece selected for the 2017 Creekside Open in May. Visuals of the piece are currently not allowed.

The day was finished off by a visit to the fabulous opening at BlainSouthern of Mat Collishaw The Centrifugal Soul. This show is touching and melancholy, beautiful and playful all at the same time, a real delight. Here is another artist smuggling in and commenting on  nature in the city, and on ideas of mythology and identity.
