As well as commissioning my first solo show, Rowan Arts selected one of my photographs to use as the poster image for the whole Islington Exhibits festival! Here are some examples…

Chasing Shadows – time based installation: Islington Exhibits 2013

From 15th-31st July 2013 Chasing Shadows will be shown as a large scale time based installation – a solo show as part of Islington Exhibits 2013.  For more information on the exhibition click here.

The installation, in an otherwise uninhabited space, is a large scale single screen projection in which frozen moments are  re-presented as transitory echoes of the original, each dissolving into the next in a slow, rhythmic loop.

This is a test of the projection at the point of near completion.  The projection is lined up exactly onto an area of the wall painted white, which is what makes it stand out so vividly from its surroundings.

The exhibition was commissioned as the winner of one of two Artists Awards.  For more information on the Artists Awards click here.

The exhibition is open every day from 10am-6pm every day until 31st July, at Unit 38 The Studios, Hornsey Street, London N7 8GR. Information here.

Islington Exhibits 2013

After a nice long break where I stepped back from exhibiting in favour of taking lots of photographs without looking at them, I have won one of two Artists Awards in Islington Exhibits 2013, running from 15th-31st July!

For this exhibition I will be revisiting Chasing Shadows as a large scale, site specific installation.

luogoComune Exhibition

The luogoComune Projects will be exhibiting at the Galleria Ex Pescheria, Via Pescheria, 23. Cesena (FC), Italy, from 29th December 2010 to 16th January 2011.

42 artists from Europe and America participated in the projects between 2006-2010, learning and sharing experiences through creative projects and ideas.

luogoComune#3 is focused on a collective reflection on the concept of the roundabout – on the cultural and aesthetical meaning of the town-planning scheme redefined by the appearance of roundabouts, and their radical transformation of one of the founding values of the western civility: the crossroad.

For luogoComune#3 I studied Newington Green,  a roundabout in North East London with a village green at its centre.  For more information click here.

For more information (in Italian) on the luogoComune projects take a look at this pdf: luogoComunelab

Helen McCookery came along and wrote the loveliest words about some of the images (and the rest of the event) here: http://www.mccookerybook.com/blog/2010/01/radio-joy-at-foundry-part-of-it-anyway.html

“Two of the screens glow orange with nasturtiums: how did they know I liked nasturtiums?

They provided me with a constant supply of little caterpillars to keep in jam jars when I was a little girl; they danced optimistically in the West-country sun at my ex-honeymoon; they flowered heroically through the deadly weeks when I was packing up our big house and getting ready to move on, exhausted by it all.
Their happy morning song of shades of orange, sung through autumn frosts and dismal rain, reminded me that life can be beautiful even when it is disguised as a nightmare.”
