BLANK
BLANK gallery have invited me to do a solo exhibition in May to coincide with Brighton Festival. We are currently in talks to organise a collaboration with artists and craftmakers from Brighton's Artists Open Houses Festival. I hope to create interventions in various open houses and to work closely with some skilled artists and craftmakers. My interest in this project lies within debates around skill and deskilling in contemporary art and it's relationship to more traditional practices and craft. More info to follow soon.
