Soon!! Excited to be curating at Bell House again with @jmillarstudio Thanks to @artistsopenhse for creating this selection of work from ours and all the other brilliant curators’ rooms - though they have spelt my name wrongly!! BELL HOUSE
‘So where do we go from here’ - Group Show

This large group exhibition featuring the work of 69 artists, grapples with questions of the future at times of uncertainty - whether political, social, metaphysical, personal, or practical. The works reflect a shared pause: a reckoning with what has shifted and what remains unresolved. Together, they explore the search for meaning, guidance, and direction when familiar structures no longer hold.

@so_where_do_we_go_from_here

Bell House projects will also be on display including the Pottery, Quilt Academy, Artist in Residence and The Garage Press.

@makesouthwest @camp_membership Flowstate artist talks this Saturday

my Rights of a Tree banner references debate around rights for more than human inhabitants of the natural world, where questions such as 'Should trees have standing?', Could nature have rights?', 'Who would speak for these natural entities?' 'because until the right less thing receives its rights, we cannot see it as anything but for the use of 'us'- those who are holding rights at the time
Extraction of natural resources and destruction of landscapes is not only a problem for nature, but for the whole ecosystem as the balance of the natural world is thrown off kilter and wars are waged using natural resources as a weapon to withhold or undermine functioning of social structures.

Flow State is the first show in the new upstairs gallery at Make SouthWest

curated by Flora Pearson @makesouthwest, Flow State is defined in the work of psychologists Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi and Jeanne Nakara as a condition of complete absorption in an activity- where time feels suspended, self awareness dissolves and action becomes instinctive

I have been absorbed for the past weeks making a banner declaring the Rights of a Tree, looking at human activity from a more than human perspective. This came out of a wild camping trip on Dartmoor on one of the hottest days last August and later on at Folk East festival hearing Robert Macfarlane's talk on Is a River Alive?

I am delighted to be in the company of 12 artists selected for Flow State

Had a lovely Christmas day walk on the moors with my family - Had a wonderful time but was pretty darn chilly!
Walked to a neolithic (?) Stone circle & saw lots of strange and unusual animal tracks.

The river Plym is alive
So many different types of water in one body as the water works its way round, over, between the obstacles in its way smoothing and shaping a coexistence with its landscape ....
