Vertigo

This November I was part of a two woman show at the Ben Oakley Gallery with the lovely Kim Tong. The title of the show Vertigo was about moments of unease and uncertainty and how we try to stabilise while in that altered state.

The show was on for two weeks in November and included large and small canvases as well as several fragile glass objects that I painted.  A retro purple glass vase with the spray painted image of an in angel wrapped around it and a murmuration of birds individually painted on transparent paper that overlapped allowing the image of other shapes to blur through.

If you did not get to see the show you can view it on Google Earth by going to 9 Turnpin Lane in Greenwich London and while at street view click on the white arrows that lead you into the Ben Oakley Gallery and look around. You can also go upstairs in the gallery and look at the paintings of all the other artist that show their work there.

Testing

I've been busy cutting stencils, then testing them to make sure I like them, before spray painting through them onto bottles. I am painting a set of beautiful champagne bottles for a display so I need them to be perfect.

A short film of my bottles in the Far Rockaway window at Shoreditch that I have edited together from small clips that I shot while helping with the display.

Spray Paint on Canvas

I'm back to spray paint and stencils on canvas.  My first canvas since I finished the painted bottles for Far Rockaway.  This is only a detail as I'm starting a larger canvas and adding some other images.  I'm also making five small feather paintings in the same colourway to leave on the street as free street art.
