Manchester Contemporary
From 28th – 31st October I will be showing ‘Temporary Measure’ with Axis at The Manchester Contemporary art fair.

Before that, Cardboard Folly will be on display at the Bluecoat from 21st October, so this week will be mainly getting work printed and collating copies. There is so much to do but I have some fantastic artists involved and the work that has already arrived is really great.
The artists involved are:
Jo Ball | Lucy Brown | Nick Cass | Damian Cruikshank | Birgit Deubner | Sarra Facey | Rebecca Foster | Emma Gregory | Kevin Hunt | Nathan Jones | Tabitha Moses | Gordon Shrigley | Emily Speed | Frances Stacey | Kirsty Tinkler | Andrew Warstat | Sinta Werner | Rich White.

On top of that workload, my twin sister is opening a new business, Recrafted, consisting of workshops and a shop selling handmade British craft. It’s already looking amazing, but I have more painting and hand-painted signs to create before the opening on the 15th October. She’s very talented and I’m very pleased she is taking such a big leap to do this. Cupcakes over the opening weekend, so if you’re in the area come and say hi!
Milan
Back from a great week in Milan (with a brief visit to the Architecture Biennale in Venice too!). Thanks to Paola and Gianni for being such great hosts. The exhibition opening was a lovely evening and I met lots of interesting people. Here are a few photos of the small but perfectly formed space below – better documentation of the work to be added to my website soon.
Showreel Project Milano
Packing up to go to Milan tomorrow and put up some work in this beautiful shop window as part of Showreel Project. The four previous installments (Teresa Gillespie, Alice Channer, Adam Thompson and Sinta Werner) all looked great and I am looking forward to meeting the curator Paola Caravati after a year or so of emails.
I have made a new piece especially for the window: egg-nest-home-country-universe and will post some images upon my return. If you happen to be in the area please come and visit!
