greenroom exhibition: still here

The Blank Media Collective is curating an exhibition of Susan's work at the greenroom in Manchester.  The greenroom is an alternative performance theatre and bar near the Cornerhouse in the city centre. The exhibition will feature the still here series made last year plus a few other, yet to be decided, pieces.
There will be a public preview on Wednesday 16th February, 6 - 9pm and then the exhibition continues until 16th April.

Celebrating Imbolc

On 2nd of February the gallery at Duckett & Jeffreys was illuminated by colour from Maria Silmon's VJ set celebrating the solar festival of Imbolc.

Imbolc is one of the ancient solar festivals and heralds the return of the light. The growing power of the sun brings a 'quickening' of life force in seeds beneath the frozen earth and the sap rising in the trees after their winter dormancy heralds the return of Spring. The images were projected on to our sculptures, shown here: sundance, as part of the Quickening exhibition.
