It’s a bit like the proverbial London bus – wait for ages and then three come along at once. As has happened with blog writing this month – three posts in quick succession (scroll down to read).
There’s nothing like feeling a bit squeezed for time to get some proper focus and motivation. I have a break coming up at the start of September and so have been busy trying to clear the decks so that I can enjoy a week of rest.
The posts focus on work that’s currently on show (HOPE at the narture cic studios in Ayr) or, is about to be – ‘Sweet Nothings’ at ArtHouse, Jersey, opening on September 6th (launch event September 5th) and 10×10 as part of the Deptford X Arts Festival, opening on September 22nd.
It’s the 25th anniversary of Deptford X this year and past participants have been encouraged to get involved with the fringe festival. ‘Dear Nan’ was a collaborative piece I did with artist Sam Jones in 2007: this year, I’m delighted to be able to show 10×10 at ArtHub (London) studios, the place where I first launched the exchange project in 2008, in response to a call for work responding to the theme of barter and trade.
