My Pozible campaign is now live and has already raised $1590.
I’d like to send out a big thank you for those who have already supported the project and shared it with your friends. It’s overwhelming to see how many people are excited to be a part of it.
We’re currently trending on the Pozible front page, which is just adding to the greatness.

You can follow along the progress of my campaign here.

I have been accepted into an artist residency of my dreams in Oaxaca Mexico which is of course exciting and all that, but I am now mostly filled with stomach churning worries about “How the hell am I going to get there?”, “seriously!”, “HOW?!!!” how how how

So I have done what I advise all people to do in times of stress and panic – needlefelt the shit out of some fluffy wool and turn it into something cute and precious. I will be inviting everyone I know plus more everyones to purchase/commission  these cute precious things.

I will be making a few hundred needlefelted Corazons. Corazon means heart in Spanish and she was the dog from my childhood, she is in the photo above. These will be suspended in silver stars and hung in  the gallery space. I will also be accepting commissions to make the dog from YOUR childhood and these will be used to recreate the canis major constellation in the gallery space.

Bring a telescope to the opening, enjoy a Mexican hot chocolate and tuck yourself in under a blanket of stars as you gaze up at the canis major constellation filled with the spirits of the dogs from our childhood.

STAY TUNED, I NEED YOUR HELP, I AM NOT EVEN JOKING.

here are some cute things that will be part of my next project

This Sunday the studio I work at will have an open day. It’s a fantastic space with dozens of artists working inside what used to be an old maternity ward. Unfortunately it will be closing down next year, so this will be one of the last times it is open to the public.

Come and visit me this at my studio before it disappears… I will have things you can take if you leave me some money.

There will be a huge range of artists and their practices on display including.
Tarsh Bates, Kirsten Biven, Claire Bushby, Jo Darbyshire, Giovanni Di Dio, James Foley, Ruth Halbert, Rina Franz, Brad Ladyman,Tessa McOnie, Elisa Markes-Young, Deborah Oakley, Kimberley Pace, Perdita Phillips, Josephine Pittman, Christopher Young, Alucinor Productions and Stephen Burge.
