This group exhibition curated by Rosie Zielinski showcased a selection of contemporary artists who utilise printmaking within their practices. The works were installed at Safehouse 2 a dilapidated house Peckham. This atmospheric space often hired by filmmakers is also used as a gallery space. The exhibition featured my two of my most recent works Sometimes and Eventually you will win both of which are derived from Enfleshing I-VI I made at the end of 2020. One work incorporates silkscreened text something I will be continuing to explore throughout this year.

Press Release 23 October 2021

There is a sense of pre-apocalyptic calm that pervades ‘Journey into the Unknown’ an exhibition of twenty-two international emerging artists. Originally gathered in London to study at art colleges throughout the capital they were subsequently forced into isolation by the pandemic. These works, created in homes and studios from Seoul to Dorset, describe their experience and provide a commentary on the issues that fuel their work. The themes that emerge collectively call into question the idea of certainty.

The exhibition promises a thought-provoking insight into the world of these artists struggling to find their place, grasp control, and redress the balance of power in a world of misinformation, political upheaval and climate change.

 … it's an achievement to accomplish a sense of materiality in an online world. I hope that soon this work can be experienced in embodied, spatial ways *

'Featuring Enfleshing I-VI  Rules of Six is the inaugural exhibition of Six Artists, a group formed in response to the government’s Rule of Six regulation. The Covid-19 pandemic – has had a significant impact on the visual arts.  Rules of Six has appropriated a regulation designed to limit social contact as a framework for a collective, creative effort – albeit one carried out at a distance.  Six artists, six works each, one shared (virtual) space. 

Online exhibition  18 January to 8 February 2021. Archive: https://sixartists.co.uk
