23 November 2019 – 8 January 2020
Lighthouse Main Gallery, Poole, Dorset, UK
Exhibited as part of a Dorset Visual Arts (Salon Collective) group exhibition, presenting Lost – A Journey Through the Fragile Mind.
The immersive installation combined projected film, suspended fragmented elements and shadow, inviting viewers to walk through and physically engage with the work. The installation was originally developed for the Duodecimal MA Fine Art exhibition (Open College of the Arts).
‘Lost – A journey through the fragile mind’
2019 — Outside the Lines
(Touring Exhibition, Dorset, UK)
Outside the Lines toured three venues over four months, concluding in November 2019.
Constructed using recycled wax crayons — including those once used by my own children — the work reflects on how we are taught to colour within prescribed boundaries. The title references younger generations who have chosen, metaphorically and politically, to step beyond those lines in response to environmental crisis.
Image from the exhibition of ‘Outside the Lines’
Outside the Lines engages with questions of ecological responsibility through material and gesture.
Rendered in an abstract, expressive language using both new and reclaimed wax crayons on primed cotton-covered board, the work considers boundary, containment and disruption — both formally within the surface and metaphorically within social structures.
