Hello blog-ettes and blog-eurs, I hope this finds you all
well. I come bearing exciting news about upcoming shows, yes you read that
write, shows in the plural!
I have recently had a positive response to an application
for the Grassington Festival, an arts festival in North Yorkshire. I shall be
showing a series of pieces entitled ‘Beachy Nostalgia Etc’ as part of a group
exhibition in the town hall.
This series of work considers specific events that occur on
the beach; day trips and holidays. I have examined these events from two
opposing perspectives: the nostalgic romanticism that we all place on these
memories and conversely the feelings of isolation and abandonment that can
arise from social gatherings.
The festival is an arts extravaganza, with music, comedy and
visual arts on the bill. It runs from June 11th – 27th
and there really is something for everyone. So, I hope to see you all there at
some point during the fortnight!!!
Lastly, as you can see from the images above, I have
confirmed the opening night for my solo show at Projeto Gallery in Keighley. It
should be a blast with some vino, some cheese and some tunes. All that in
addition, of course, to my awe inspiring art!!! So grab a friend and come
along!!!
Au revouir mes amies...
