Curated Commission

I was very proud to be awarded the curated commission for Wirksworth Arts Festival. The work celebrated the nature of Wirksworth over the centuries of seemingly reinventing itself and today was a thriving creative town. To celebrate this the work was created out of 45,000 balloons and the proportions of the three colours of balloons used referenced the pie chart of the population census figures for 1801, 1901, 2001. The balloons were reinvented - not blown up as would be expected but individually skewed and threaded on steel and impossibly floated in organic forms from the bell tower of St Mary's Church, Wirksworth.

The work was a fantastic insight into producing and delivering proposal for site specific work, understanding the limits that can mean restrictions to form but work with them to make work where the viewer is unaware of the restrictions.

For me flowers signify moments, special dates, treasured parts of your garden, times of the year, and even important people - all these things trigger memories. To suggest this I paint flowers fading in and out of detail just as our thoughts, creating elements on each canvas to discover and savour, using colour to allow the eyes to gently search the canvas at their own pace.
