Mid Pennine Arts, Burnley
October, 2008
Natalie Deighton, Laura Skilbeck and me presented work inspired by a young people’s ecological art group in Burnley. The three of us spent eight weekends supporting artist Kerry Morrison and youth worker Sharon Connery to create art in local natural environments. The project encouraged young people to explore the countryside as well as to create art work to develop their understanding and enjoyment of their surroundings. This group exhibition showed our individual responses to the environment, young people and experiences the group shared.
I focused on one memory from the project and tried and failed to recreate it in the city.

I exhibited a series of photographs from my project Congratulations, Withington, a series of interventions on Withington high street that celebrated quite ordinary everyday events in the area. Here is a woman who was the twelfth customer in Help the Aged one morning.
CUBE Gallery, Manchester
16th July – 29th July 2005
Work from my degree show was chosen to be exhibited in this showcase of work that engaged with the city’s landscape. My film, Slug, was screened. Slug was a performance which involved me slithering across Manchester during rush hour in a slug suit I made out of a sleeping bag.

A restriction imposed by CONTENTS MAY VARY was simply that the dimensions of a work must not exceed 10cm.
Here is my contribution, CRESS REBELS. The cress quietly defied the rules during the exhibition.

The International 3, Manchester
April 2005
A publication and exhibition which invited artists to respond to each others work in a Chinese Whispers effect. I served up a higglety pigglety champagne fountain, I was (and am still) preoccupied with the past and its allure.
