Don't Take Pictures - the view from here
The Don’t Take Pictures Summer Exhibition, The View from Here, reflects on the pandemic’s effects on what we see when we’re stuck inside everyday or where we wish we were. My work “Swing” is a photograph of a wooden swing my father built at my childhood home. For years we lived in the country, surrounded by rural life; this swing was a meditation spot. I’m so happy to have it included in this exhibition. You can view the full exhibition here.
Curated Fridge - Summer 2020
I’m so happy to be included in the Curated Fridge’s Summer 2020 Exhibition, “Little Wins”; this time work wasn’t physically mailed due to the ongoing pandemic, but you can view the full virtual show here. Curator Bree Lamb, managing editor of Fraction Magazine, also chose a selection of ten to be featured in the July 2020 - Issue 136 of Fraction Magazine, including my work “Tour Bus”.
