Pictures of an exhibition

Definitions of Drawing has ended last Sunday - but here is a link to an album with images. 

Vacant Space 2021, approx 33cm x 69cm x 170cm (h x d x l), mohair & nylon

Vacant Space 2021

I don't do this normally: install new work in a space I have never visited. But last week this was the only way: Coming more or less straight from the ferry, with a stopover at the studio to prepare the sculpture and pack tools, I arrived at Sunny Bank Mills Wednesday morning. In the evening, after working on autopilot for eight hours, Vacant Space, version 2021, stood - or rather floated - in the exhibition space. 

Many thanks to Court Spencer and Sunny Bank Mills. I look forward to visiting the exhibition, seeing the other artists' work - and assessing what I have actually done. 

Just after installation. Vacant Space is 170cm wide

A moment in time

Summer 2020 

Two birds flying past, making a fleeting appearance on Live Sky - a 'slice' of sky floating in the space (CCTV live feed projection on acrylic glass).

A year has passed since the exhibition @ King Edward Street, Light Works. I had used the space for nine months as a laboratory, setting up new works in response to the space and refining existing ones. It has been an intense, demanding and beautiful time, a dive into new territory, quietly challenging me on various levels. 

Subsequently the last year became a time of recovery - and also of final goodbyes, with  impromptu travel and long stays abroad. 

It would turn into August before we could take down the projection works on the upper floors. And it was then, just before dismantling Live Sky, that I accidentally captured two birds flying by, a coincidence I could only dream of during the exhibition time...
