154 iPhoneography Prints for Exhibition

Since January this year I have been creating work as part of the 154 Collective and the launch of our Exhibition is now drawing near....2nd June at the Cooper Gallery, Barnsley. My work has been developed through iPhoneography using still and moving image to celebrate the similarities between the communities of Barnsley and Newham, whose Town Halls are 154 miles apart as the crow flies. My exhibited work will comprise of a series of portraits of children from Barnsley and Newham, framed giclee prints capturing daily life within the two boroughs and a selection of short films. Here is a close up of one of the giclee prints presented as a montage of 35 images from Barnsley and Newham. Come along to the exhibition to see the full print and much more work created by the 154 Collective.

Work in progress...LBT

I am currently working on a photographic collage which knits together a scattered composite image with illustrated pattern detail inspired by the shapes within the photograph, using inks, charcoal, graphite, felt tip pens, fine liner and posca.

LBT Montage

I have just completed my first montage piece as part of my residency at The Lawrence Batley Theatre. It is a montage of images I captured during my recent tour of the hidden depths of the Theatre. I am using this as a starting point for further montage pieces based around the Theatre, along with a series of pen and ink drawings.

Exhibiting at The Water Street Gallery

The Smalls Works and "...just in case" exhibitions have now begun at The Water Street Gallery, Todmorden. I thoroughly enjoyed the Private View last week which saw the Gallery full to the brim with visitors. There is an eclectic mix of inspiring work throughout the Gallery - a fantastic exhibition. The exhibition is on until the beginning of January so there is plenty of time to take a visit! Here are a few images I took on the Opening Night to capture my work in exhibition.
