Chapel Arts Studios

Words cannot explain the sheer delight and sense of purpose that has transpired from my residency at Chapel Arts. It is such a fantastic building, the team are so supportive and the ideology is wonderful. As a result of Dave Dixons efforts I am now off to Winton School in Andover to work with the GCSE yr 10 students. We have developed a plan! Not only will this work with the curriculum which of course pleases Angel a the Head of Art, but if all goes swimmingly it will engender some imaginative and conceptual thinking with the students. I am so looking forward to seeing how they interpret it, and also I must admit fairly knees knockingly anxious about how to work with twenty or so teenagers! Thank goodness Angela will be there too and she assures me they are a cracking bunch. We will be introducing all sorts of wonderful ideas and I will keep posting the progress up here as I go. Happy days!

Host at Winchester University

What a great space for Host and again great support from the guys who made the frame and plinth. I must admit there is a reason why I am an artist and not an engineer!!! I am so pleased it is looking so good and doing its job in being on display in The Stripe Lecture Theatre. All due to the support and encouragement of the business development manager at Winchester University's Link Gallery, Trish Kernan. I hope now that more work will be made available for me through interior designers and architects. So far interest is stacking up and marketing is going well.

A permananet home for Host

Firstly, a big thank you to everyone who put the concept and the show together, inviting the artists, providing the venues and publicising the event so well. It has been a great experience. There has been some excellent feedback from memebrs of the public, particularly about Host which has been uplifting and also from the press which has been a little more nerve racking! It would be wonderful (as will be stated in an article in the Hampshire Chronicle soon) that a buyer can be found and even better if the piece could stay on public display in Winchester to reference the hard work that went into the show and also to reference the heritage of the site. If ther are any suggestions as to where and whom then by all means mention them to me. In the meantime I am looking forward to Palm Sunday and the artists talks with Sophie Hacker.
