Arts Council Funding
February 24, 2022
I've been funded!
'A Place to Return to' has successfully received funding from the Arts Council England. Over the next twelve months I will be travelling the length and breadth of Britain on foot, and connecting its major (and minor) towns and cities through walking. Through walking I will be observing and recording personal and collective memories of Britain, whilst also considering the shape of Britain as we go into post pandemic living.
'A Place to Return to' is a continuation of my mapping Britain project where I plan to walk every square of the Ordnance Survey maps of Britain and take one analogue photograph.
Looking forward to sharing more information, stories, and adventures as the project begins to unfold.

The New Art Gallery Walsall Open Studio
September 11, 2021
Since June 2021 I have in residence at The New Art Gallery Walsall and have been busy walking, drawing and photographing the West Midlands. Visitors to the Gallery, or those following the my posts on our Instagram account each Wednesday, may have seen a large scale chalk drawing developing across the back wall of the studio which is shaped by my encounters on both my local outings and long distance walks.
As the residency draws to a close there will be the opportunity to meet and talk with me at an Open Studio event from Thursday 16th to Saturday 18th September.

The Centre for the Less Good Idea
August 24, 2020
Skins was selected for the ‘Long Minute’.
‘The Centre for the Less Good Idea is, for those not familiar with it, a small arts centre in downtown Johannesburg which we started four years ago. We typically have two seasons of live performances a year, and for our seventh season, as it was not possible to stage them in front of audiences, our performances were digitally streamed. To continue work at the centre during the period of social isolation and lockdown, we invited participants, alumni of the centre, to make one-minute films, using their cell phones as cameras, for a series called ‘The Long Minute’, so every day we’ve been posting different films by filmmakers, dancers, authors, musicians on Instagram.'
The Long Minute is curated by Bronwyn Lace

Dial and Draw Hotline
As a result of the COVID 19 many people who are classed as vulnerable have remained at home for three months. Without the usual weekly routines and activities to look forward to this will have been an undoubtedly difficult time. With one day slipping into the next a journey or a walk is a way to break up a day and create a memory. Whether that be a short walk to the corner shop or a longer cross country hike.
Therefore, I'm putting out this invitation to take a journey over the phone, to somewhere you have been or would like to go. We'll have a little chat for twenty minutes or so and we can talk about your memories of a place. During this time I'll be creating drawings (and you can too!) which will then all be compiled together to form an installation which reflect the different landscapes of people who are at home and in isolation.
This project is kindly supported by Birmingham Centre for Art Therapies
