Ten weeks on the Experimental Studio residency have flown by and it’s time to invite you to my open studio event in Newcastle, running alongside Vane Gallery’s closing celebration of their current exhibition – which marks the tenth anniversary of the opening of the gallery.
I’ve had an amazing time up here in the North East, it would be great to see you and show you what’s been occurring.

To mark the end of her residency at The Experimental Studios, London-based artist Kirsty Harris is opening her studio to the public and will be present to discuss her work.
Harris has spent the last ten weeks developing her practice based around the imagery and data collected on nuclear tests. Creating oil paintings on linen and glass, cyanotypes, short films, silverpoint and carbon paper drawings, she has used the space and time provided to step up in scale whilst still keeping a strong element of experimentation. Quotes are scattered, shadows are thrown through glass paintings of mushroom clouds with un-stretched linens pinned directly onto the wall.
I’ve been thinking of the studio as my Laboratory, try to set lots of experiments going and waiting to see where the results take me instead of predicting the final product.

The Experimental Studio has been a collaboration between Vane and Breeze Creatives.
