'South of the River' - The Douglas Fir

My solo exhibition 'South of the River' opens next Friday 3rd March and runs until 24th March at The Douglas Fir pub in Crystal Palace. The exhibition comprises of embroideries of Peckham, Walworth and Brixton made over the past five years. I will be making a new embroidery of Electric Avenue for the show and also showing a large drawing 'Deptford High Street' alongside my Bowie embroidery. A solo exhibition of old, new and unexhibited.

Address: The Douglas Fir, 144 Anerley Road, London, SE20 8DL. Nearest overground: Crystal Palace.

Deptford High Street drawings

I've uploaded the drawings I did for my residency at Utrophia in April - just in case I didn't get enough stories to work with. I did, but the drawings were still great to do to get a sense of the area on a weekend. You can see the drawings on my website

Progress In Work III - Good Stories

On the 5th, 6th and 7th of April I will be participating in 'Progress in Work III' at Utrophia in Deptford with Tim Spooner and Stephen Fowler.

I'm looking for 'good stories' of Deptford to build up a collection, written and scribbled. I will be creating embroideries inspired by these stories. If you would like to participate and live in Deptford or have a link to it, please send me an email and I can forward you a template to print out, write and draw on.

I'll be updating this blog with more on details on the residency and glimpses of what I'm sent in
