An exhibition of textiles prints and ceramics based on the wartime experience of the artist’s grandmother, Connie, who lived in Coventry during the Blitz. With contemporary images of flora and fauna and brightly coloured designs this locally inspired exhibition takes inspiration from the bombing of Coventry and the ruins of the Cathedral. The historical references and local touches make this a powerful show for anyone hoping to learn more about the war from a personal point of view.
Ladies from Nuneaton and Bedworth parading in the London march in June to mark the centenary of the rite to vote for certain women. The ladies had taken part in a series of workshops and had contributed towards the finished design.
The design was commissioned by Artichoke via Nuneaton Museum & Art Gallery.
I am just about to submit a proposal to the Arts council for funding to create a “living space” installation at Nottingham train station. This exciting proposed project involves the design, creation and installation of an innovative “living room” at Nottingham train station. Situated in a large glass case in the main foyer the installation will be an autobiographical piece centred around the theme of the passing of time. I love the idea of a small, calm, sealed space surrounded by thousands of animated people. On closer inspection the “room” will tell a remarkable story through its inanimate objects.
If I am successful this will be my first solo exhibition and a major milestone in my artistic career to date.
