Dear good people,

Just a reminder of the next shows coming up that you are invited to two events. And also there is still time to book on to Sunday's (19th April) workshop all day taster day in cyanotype making at Phoenix Art Space.

April/May

Tide and Place, a collaborative show between Sussex Bay and WRAP space (info below). I'm exhibiting a large painting and three screenprints also Dougal will make an appearance for the private view night. The show is shaping up beautifully.

WRAP and Sussex Bay invite you to 'Tide and Place'. An exhibition by UK-based artists exploring our relationship with the sea and coastline.

WRAP and Sussex Bay have partnered with local artists under the banner ‘Sussex Bay Creates’ to demonstrate the ability of art to bring us together to learn, explore and experience, resulting in a programme of curated exhibitions and responses.

'Tide and Place' explores how we interact, inhabit, narrate and think of the marine environment, both individually and on a collective scale. In the middle of the Anthropocene crisis, how can we reinforce our position as part of nature, rather than apart from it? The exhibition will reflect a variety of mediums, practices and community initiatives, resulting in a dynamic conversation between the self and the sea.

Please reserve a place for the private view on 24th April

Tide and Place will also be open on the weekend of 25th-26th of April and 2nd-3rd of May from 11 AM until 5 PM. No need to pre-book your visit.
