New website in construction....
please have some patience....a proper new website is on its way very soon!

Preview night of "Ghosts in the machine"!

Friday 13th June, at Charles Roe House on Chestergate, Macclesfield, 7pm - 9pm

Sara MacKian and myself have collaborated on this project which looked at the creative ways of being a musician in the Macclesfield Music "industry".

We spoke to many musicians, and made these interviews the basis of our project and then produced visual artwork based on this. 

It has been such a fantastic journey and we seem to have only scratched the surface, ...talking to all these wonderful and talented people, hearing how they feel in their part of the musical world and for ourselves the project offered the callenge to   to find ways of visually responding to all of this. If only we would have had more time....

Come along to join us on Friday from 7 till 9 pm! There are more art exhibitions by other artists groups in the same house ....

This exhibition is part of Macclesfield's Barnaby Festival Art Trail and is open every day (as are all the other artists' exhibitions) from 14 - 29th June, 11am - 4pm.

Last weekend to see "Echoes - evolution ..innit?" at Charles Roe House in Macclesfield..
We have had such an amazing response to this installation. 
It is open Sat and Sun from 10 till 5.

It's the big Barnaby Festival Weekend in Macclesfield and our installation is on show at Charles Roe House on Chestergate, right in the centre of town. 
We are on the ground floor and in the creepy cellars...with sculptures and three-dimensional artwork (by Erika Groeneveld and myself) and soundscapes by Tony Berriman.

This is fantastic! Barnaby Festival in Macclesfield has our Project "Echoes - Evolution in it" on show: As a group of three artists (Erika Groeneveld, visual artist, Tony Berriman, audio artist and myself) we have teamed up to create this installation of pictures, sculptures and sound. This way of working is pretty new to us, very exciting and experimental and it offers unique sights and sounds. We are located in Charles Roe House on Chestergate, Macclesfield. The experience is of a particular nature, particularly if you venture into the cellar rooms of the house....(no, I am not telling you more..)

Charles Roe House also houses other artists' work and is open daily from 10 till 5 (also during the big Barnaby weekend and the weekend thereafter) till Sunday 30th June. 

I am not showing you too many pictures here...see for yourself.

Erika's website already has a great documentation of it ...if you can't come to see it for real, click here .
And here are is Tony Berriman's soundscapes...click here

New techniques....Exciting new project together with visual artist Erika Groeneveld and musician/sound artist Tony Berriman! We are going three-dimensional and there will be sound with it....at Macclesfield's Barnaby Festival in June!

Great News! My artwork "Memory Screens on open sea" received the 3rd Prize at Chester's Grosvenor Museum 10th Open Art Exhitition!!!!!!!!!!!

Drawing becoming three-dimensional is such a fascinating concept. And making it happen on all different layers and levels...
