I was very exciting to have taken part and helped with Araba Ocran's great new Bad Behaviour show about women's 'Gritted Teeth'.
This is Bad Behaviour's first show for about five years.
We secured a big new venue right in the centre of Brixton and it was awesome.
I showed a piece of work I started some years ago so that now it fitted this theme well - 'Stilettos Kill' (Detail of it here.)
I also showed my 'Escape' mobile of people flying away.
When I have got off my chest my hate of stiletto heels I will be back to working on Climate Change.
As a grandmother I must do what I can for future generations.
Climate Change
We started our group in 2024 to look for opportunities to show work expressing our increasing concern about Climate Change and Biodiversity.
We were all delighted at the success of our exhibition in the garden of J M W Turner's House in Twickenham in 2024. Then last winter about the Power of Water at the Sunbury Gallery. Curating these exhibitions has been hard but the other artists in our group (particularly Nicki Rolls) have helped a great deal and I have learnt alot from them.
We are all now looking for another venue where we can show our developing work on this important theme.
