Blue Room

I wanted to share this amazing work by Jo, a member of Blue Room, an arts service for people with learning difficulties that runs three days a week at the Bluecoat. I visited them while Topophobia was on, and they came into the gallery a couple of times to see me performing inside my work.

They responded to my work by making small environments in boxes and, in the case of Jo, making a full-body costume. There are even small holes in the headpiece where her hair can come through. Amazing!

Northern Art Prize Shortlist

Still getting used to the fact that I’ve been short-listed for the Northern Art Prize!

Very pleased and looking forward to making some new work for the exhibition next March…. huge thanks to Sally Tallant for nominating me in the first place.

Library of Congress

I just found out that the Library of Congress in Washington is going to be a repository for all books published by Women’s Studio Workshop in New York. I published ‘Unfolding Architecture’ with them in 2007 and I am still very proud of it, and I have fantastic memories of my time there.

The book is still available for the bargain price of $200 from their website (7 weeks of hard graft letter-pressing and screen-printing went into making them!).

I should also mention that my very talented friend, artist Rose Smith, is currently there making a new book work at the moment – can’t wait to see it!
