Sculptures in residence at The Midland Hotel

We went to Manchester yesterday to see how our sculptures look displayed in the grand lobby of the Midland Hotel. The four pieces: Spindrift, Sprite, Solaris and Flight  are on loan through Visual run by Arts & Business, who aim to create partnerships between commerce and culture. The work will be on show until 14th April.

Quickening: now on at Duckett & Jeffreys

Thank you to every body who came to the Private View for Quickening on Wednesday night. It was great to feel the buzz of conversation in the gallery after a busy couple of days setting up.

Quickening: a new exhibition for the New Year.

Best wishes for 2011!
We have an exhibition in collaboration with digital artist and VJ Maria Silmon starting next week at Duckett & Jeffreys Gallery in Malton, North Yorkshire. Quickening is inspired by the time of Imbolc solar festival, the moment in the year when the sun, after the stillness and dormancy of winter, begins to noticeably rise higher on the horizon towards it’s zenith at mid-summer. It’s rays stimulate the earth into the new energy of spring, quickening it’s life-force and bringing the first stirrings of action to the seeds beneath the earth. We will be showing sculptures along side Maria's sound and video work and are really excited to be collaborating in this way. The exhibition is on until the 19th February.

Seasons' Greetings everyone
