Art Exhibition at CASC

The five Artists in Residence at the University of Chester have held an exhibition at CASC in the Grosvenor Precinct in Chester which has now come to and end. The pieces that I was exhibiting are now back at my studio and are available for sale.

I had four pieces in the exhibition which together are called ‘What Lies Beneath’ and ask the question do we care enough? Do we care enough to do anything about it?

The faceless mass of refugees,

In the fading sands of time,

How easily we forget them,

When they are not yours or mine.

Artist in Residence at Chester University

Much to my delight I have been selected to be an Artist in Residence at Chester University in the Department of Art and Design as part of the Artists into Art Colleges programme for 2022-23. There are 6 artists taking part this year.

It will involve working in the department both with students and with other artists. I hope to do some carving in the department and enable students to experience it if they are interested. As a group of artists we will talk to students about our experiences of being working artists.

I will also be working with the other artists, possibly independently or collaboratively to produce work for a final exhibition which will take place in Chester in February (more details to follow). Initially we will have a small exhibition of our existing work in the department as a means to introduce ourselves to the students and staff. Then start to work on our ideas and start to make art! I suspect my next few posts will look at how this developes.
