Harbingers, Centrum, Berlin, 26 May – 19 June, 2011. Harbingers (a person who goes ahead and makes known the approach of others) is the opening exhibition for the new season at Centrum space in Berlin. Each artist from the previous season was asked to invite someone new, Alice Walton – www.alicewaltononline.co.uk, invited me. Centrum is run by Kate Squires and David Moynihan – www.centrumberlin.com.
I share a studio with Laura Braun and Heather McDonough. We work on joint exhibition projects together, such as The Anachronistic Album, which was shown in London and Brighton last year. We also occasionally open the studio for group shows with invited artists. Visit our blog for more info – www.thestudionotebook.blogspot.com.
I am developing new work with the photography group Tri-pod. Members of the group are; Natasha Caruana, Zoe Childerley, Ellie Davis, Dean Hollowood, Karen Grainger, Sacha Lehrfreund, Judith Lyons and Wendy Pye. The group is facilitated by Miranda Gavin, Hotshoe Magazine. I’m interested in replacing the emotional ‘trigger’ to take a photograph with a mechanical trigger – set off by animals as they pass through an infra-red beam. www.tri-pod.co.uk.
I took part in the symposium The Loving Gaze at The Women’s Library in November 2010. Speakers included Susan Andrews, Emmanuelle Dirix, Robin Grierson, Paul Hill and Heather McDonough and . I showed a selection of paired images of my partner and landscape / animal photographs taken in France and the UK.
