I was very pleased to be included in the Messums booth at the London Art Fair this January showing the print Still Life Class, a very new venture for me and one which I hope to follow up. This ran alongside a mixed show titled Talking Objects at the Cork st gallery. I was also part of a group show in Messums London in July titled Totemic along with several key gallery artists.
Meanwhile I have been preparing for a major retrospective of my work from 1980s to the present, to be held in the 13th century tythe barn at Messums West this autumn. Titled Significant Beings, the exhibition will feature a mix of single works and installations and will be accompanied by a 100-page catalogue which will include essays by Natalie Baerselman le Gros, Tessa Peters, Edmund de Waal and Wilfrid Wright. It opens on 10th October and runs until 5th December. I hope this show will demonstrate my contribution to both the language of clay and to figurative sculpture.
