I'm going to be showing some work at last, this month. I will be participating in the Penzance Studios Spring Exhibition at Wharfside Arts Hub [Unit 7, Wharfside, Penzance] from May 25th until June 9th. Hopefully I will be able to get my large piece, "My Door Is Always Open" on show at last.

Finally managed to start thinking about new ideas and experimenting with corroding copper. My intention when moving down here was to have a studio with outside space and to work on larger pieces. Although I have a fair sized studio and outside space they are two floors away from each other and access to my studio means I am limited in the size of work I'll be able to get out of there. So, for now I'm keeping things small but persisting with the three dimensional ideas.
I finally have my Penzance studio in the attic of our new seaside home ready[ish]. We got the keys on February 8th and have been getting rid of the furniture the previous owners left behind, fixing things we were unaware needed fixing and decorating the place ever since. So, you can see why there has been a lack of updates. I had my first meeting with the PZ Studios group that I joined in January and am happy to know that there will be two group shows coming up this year. I just need to enter a lot of open calls before it's too late and start looking for somewhere to exhibit on my own next. Oh, and distribute the catalogues I picked up at the meeting. Also, need to learn to stop banging my head on those beams and looking out the window at the sea.
With the move to Penzance in a month looming I haven't been working on much over the festive period and will be packing my studio here up next week. I have been experimenting with some three dimensional paintings of late though [see below]. I will releasing some digital prints while I am temporarily studioless, the first of which is below, imaginatively titled Square 1. It is 20" x 20" in an edition of 5, with certificate of authenticity.
I thought I was done for this year but I dropped two pieces off at Woodfield pavilion yesterday for the winter exhibition. It runs from December 6th until January 28th [I think]. The Map Is Not The Territory and Something Hot, both rejected for the Guildford House Open last month, will be gracing the walls along with many other local artists. These will probably be the last pieces I show in London before my move to Cornwall. Not the last time ever though!
