Twenty Four / Seven Exhibition

An all-women’s exhibition that sits with questions of community and longevity

An amalgamation of seven women artists exploring the openness and confinement within coexistence and ownership. This exhibition sits timely within the socio-political climate of today’s world, as we witness the varying changes that resound landscapes, borders, governance (or lack thereof), and access. As the name suggests, this exhibition serves as a mirror to artists’ continuous thought processes and the endless nature of repurposing to explore new narratives.

In their various pieces, the artists are taking inspiration from the discarded, undertaking material explorations and referencing past lives. These emotive and energetically charged works embody an uneasy resolution for the challenges we face together.

I exhibited my new installation, Sea Change at Hypha Stratford, 50 Celebration Avenue, Stratford, London E20 1DB1 March – 7 April 2024

Featured artists: Mils Bridgewater, Caroline Chouler-Tissier, Natasha Fontenelle , Dovile Grigaliunaite , Caz Hildebrand, Phillipa Silcock, Rosie Stonham. Curated by Zarna Hart.

Clay Dig Summer 2023

Clay pit dig at WH Collier's Brickmakers in Mark's Tey, Colchester. This is a new seam of clay they have excavated from the prehistoric lakebed clay pit on site. This is the first time that this clay has been exposed to daylight for thousands of years. We have been working with WH Collier's and a micropaleontologist who studies core samples taken from these digs. We are developing a new body of work based on his extraordinary findings.

Brickworks Residency

I have been spending time on a residency at WH Collier's brickworks in Essex, working with fellow artist Nina Gerada. Their bricks are all made by hand and the brickmakers have been sharing their skills and knowledge with us. We have been researching the processes and the clay, developing ideas and learning. This has been an opportunity to spotlight and celebrate bricks, support the handmade brick industry and shine a light on a declining industry.
