Exhibition: This 'Me' of Mine - Ipswich Art Gallery

On Saturday 21st September This 'Me' of Mine opened at Ipswich Art School Gallery. The exhibition continues until 5th January 2014.

I am showing two images from my latest project, The Study of Peter Pan. The full series will be unveiled next month in Peter and David at Four Corners Gallery, London. 

Below are a few photos I took at This 'Me' of Mine Private View.


This ‘Me’ of Mine is a touring contemporary art exhibition which looks at self in relation to context. It will present issues of socialization and the influence of social groups and our connection to objects as a means to express emotion and to hold memories. The passage of time, limitations imposed by circumstance, and the effects of living in a digital age will also be explored. 

Artists include: Aly Helyer, Edd Pearman, Darren Nixon, Hayley Harrison, Melanie Titmuss, Annabel Dover, Kate Murdoch, David Minton, Anthony Boswell, David Riley, Sandra Crisp, Sarah Hervey, Shireen Qureshi, Cathy Lomax, and Jane Boyer. Plus guest artists: Molly Behagg, Edward Chell, Kate Elliott, Suzanne de Emmony, Andrew Litten, Gary Mansfield, Helen Scalway, Lisa Snook, Jacqueline Utley and Kai-Oi Jay Yung. 

The exhibition is curated by Jane Boyer, and supported by the Arts Council, England.

On 2nd November 2-4pm there will be a symposium: Identity in the Digital Age. Click here for more information and to buy tickets.

Cornwall Portraits

Here are some portraits I took last week during a family holiday in Cornwall. I wanted to test out the new formula colour shade Impossible film. 

It was sunny and windy and wet and sandy. Despite the yellowy/cyan cast, I kind of like the results.
