Looking forward to working with people who have signed up for a series of workshops I’m running online for Double Elephant Print Studio based in Exeter. The course is title Influence and Connection - An online course to support artists’ reflection and practice. The requisite number of people have signed up for it to be viable but if anybody is interested there is the possibility of joining in – check out their website https://www.doubleelephant.org.uk/courses  Its 4 sessions that will explore the lateral thinking, problem solving I have been developing over the past 10 years that started with my Post graduate Certificate in Learning and Teaching where I focused my research on reflective thinking, introducing it to the Textile design Course at NUA. I’m working on a commission for the new space created in the Science Gallery at London Bridge – the space is being re-imagined as a well-being space for students and I’ve been devising activities, creating graphics, instructions, and workshops. It’s interesting to use some of the folding techniques I’ve been exploring alongside the work I developed for care homes and libraries. Before Christmas I had a quick visit to Laurence Edwards foundry in Halesworth to develop the ongoing series of film/projection work. These are just some screen grabs but show the idea. Onto screens – The Lost Daughter – endless sadness, Humans – The grief of family, The Matrix Resurrections – realities reinvented, Don’t Look Up – too real, The Last Train to Christmas – disturbingly clever.
