And that’s a wrap! Heartfelt thanks to everyone who came, saw and engaged with my poem, the Shadow Light artworks and the underlying unifying message of hope and transcendence. Your extraordinary emotional response to the exhibition, all the profound conversations, the tears, and courage in sharing your own remarkable stories of loss and struggle and salvation across the past few weeks have truly made the lifelong journey worthwhile. With love & gratitude 👊🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼🤍 @phoenix_artspace @hanoverartstrail @alumni.rca @artistsopenhouses @sussexnightstop @priormarketingconsulting @brightonfringe @start_the_conv

And then there were two… @phoenix_artspace @alumni.rca @hanoverartstrail @artistsopenhouses @sussexnightstop @priormarketingconsulting @spectrumlab

Back down to Brighton yesterday to visit@simondavideden at his powerful & poetic exhibition Shadow Light -Songs My Brother Taught Me at the Phoenix Arts Space.

A wonderfully rich & wide ranging conversation ensued; including - loss, family, society, beliefs, consciousness, and creativity - to be continued..& hopefully with more to share with you at a later date.

I recorded some clips - one here - of Simonsharing some of theideas & approachesbehind the artworks with two young visitors. His creative vision includes writing, film, theatre & ongoing experimental artistic approaches & he is such a joy to talk with.

If you get a chance to visit- do - it’s an extraordinary experience that clearly resonates with so many - on until Sunday @phoenix_artspace
