Some of the new and ongoing series of work, four of which were exhibited at the weekend. And there’s a book too, coffee table-style, via MyPublisher, sitting on my tutor’s desk, and there are going to be smaller 7×7″ hard- and softbacks for sale from Blurb when time allows.
Rosie from Hera wrote this artist statement for the brochure:
“The Fences series reveals the very constructs that replicate the divided inner, social and political self. The work examines obsessional psychic and physical borders of fear that obfuscate and control lives and construct both real and imagined landscapes.”
It is a political work, more than a psychological one. But that’s spot on. Click through that photo to see more.

I tried to comment on this last night but I had big problems (locking out etc)
Just wanted to say I love this image Brenda. It just says so much

Sorry, the server is struggling. It’s only a little blog, but there’ve been about a dozen people refreshing and refreshing every couple of minutes. Including trollsquashers!
Thank you for loving this, I feel very fond of it too. The whole series is about breaching barricades of various kinds. I’ve written a proper bit of backstory for the book.

These really are great images. I noticed them coming through my RSS feeds a few days ago, and they stood out a lot - sorry it’s taken me a few days to get back round to telling you!

Thank you Pete! Maybe they’ll be good for the Graft show?
If you see any good examples on your biking travels, I’d be glad to hear about them. It’s an ongoing project.
