Silent Disco 2023

I am delighted to be exhibiting in Graham Crowley’s Silent Disco 2023. It opens on Saturday 29th July and runs to the 12th August. There will 35 artists showing at Graham’s studio in Wickham Market, Suffolk and I am really looking forward to meeting some of them on Saturday. A guided tour of the show will be available on ArtTop10 on YouTube shortly, which I am sure will be well worth watching.

Embodied Drawing Workshop

Foot First: using the whole body in the drawing process

I was delighted to invite Kate Sollohub to come to Hastings to run an intensive, experimental, collaborative drawing workshop with members of the South Coast Artists collective (SoCo) in the run up to our exhibition, Drawing Unframed.

Kate works and teaches in an experimental way, incorporaing meditation, movement and yoga into her practice. She works on a large scale and led us through a workshop which did the same, letting go of expectations and enjoying the process.

Through the day, we worked on our own, in pairs and in small groups on large scale drawings which became collaborative journeys into using gesture, breath, meditation and movement in the mark making. It was playful, absorbing and liberating.

Thank-you so much Kate and I hope we can lure you over to Hastings to do another workshop soon.
