This digital artwork is  part of an ongoing collaboration between Cycle Heaven and Bar Lane.  I wanted to capture the daily activities of the workshop and the skill and speed of the technicians.  I brought in my 25 year old bike to be reconditioned and photographed  for the duration of the service.

Ryedale Artfest Exhibition

I will also be exhibiting a framed edition of the Monthly Map books  which are part of a art intervention which was started in 2008.  The project was called the Daily Colour Project: Sustaining systems

Monthly Map: August (work in progress) 2011

In this project daily interventions of colour sorting the family laundry were photographed.  The project was originally produced for the Start 4 Art commission awarded on my graduation in 2008 from York St John University.  The work explores how small systems underpin and regulate our lives in both constructive and limiting ways.   The normality of life which we often take for granted can easily be affected by external factors such as changing weather patterns or health.  The apparent repetitive pattern is actually changing indefinitely.

Only two editions of the Monthly Map Artist Books have been hand made.  They were designed for the Home from Home  Exhibition as part of the 14th Leeds International Artist Book Fair in March 2011.

Post - Exhibition and Bike Project

On Friday 24th June at 6pm, Bar Lane Studios' group of graduate artist interns will unveil a major exhibition of their talents to commemorate their year in residence at the city's creative hub.

The group, comprising five artists and a theatre company, were the first set of York St John University arts graduates to take up residence at Bar Lane after it opened last year. The YSJ-funded internship scheme provides graduates with studio spaces, exhibition opportunities, work experience and professional mentoring in order to help these fledgeling creative businesses establish themselves. Now, as they near the end of their year's residence, the group are preparing their showcase exhibition to fill Bar Lane's main gallery.

Diverse artists Jade Blood, Susanne Davies, Matt Durrant, Tom Hodgson and Catherine Scriven will display vibrant new artworks and all-female theatre company Six Lips will perform a new piece on opening night devised especially for the occasion.

The exhibition runs at Bar Lane Studios' main gallery from Friday 24th June until Saturday 2nd July, and kicks off with a preview event at 6pm on the 24th. This event is open to all art lovers and will include refreshments provided by York Brewery.

 For the Post - Exhibition, I will be showing new work based on a Bicycle Project.  This Project is in conjunction with Cycle Heaven, Bishopthorpe Road, where our artwork has been placed into the Display Windows of this Bike Shop.  For the project my 25 year old bike, which had been neglected for the last two years is undergoing a transformation at the Cycle Heaven workshop.  This has been recorded with photographs and is forming the basis of a digital photo composite artwork in progress.  As a taster here are the BEFORE and AFTER photographs.  The artwork recorded the Bike Transformation from 9:43 to 11:52 am on 17/05/2011.  Artwork to be unveiled on the preview of POST - on 24th of June at Bar Lane Studios.

Installation of Monthly Map books

Home from Home Exhibition
Installed the Monthly Map Books today in a Victorian town house where each themed room displays a intriguing variation of artist works related to home and books.

These Monthly Map books are based on a visual source gathered for the Daily Colour Project (Sustaining Systems)  which I did in 2008.  The project was investigating the interaction of art and domestic daily situations.  As an emerging artist I was investigation how to establish an artistic practise and routine, when more everyday essential routines were demanding for my attention.  Through this investigation  it also became apparent that maintaining a daily routine was a low-key but important means of surviving when unpredictable and destabilising events happened.  

Detail from Monthly Map: August.
digital print on paper, thread, hardback book cover.

Also available at the book fair:  Monthly Maps:  September and November.

Invitation for Home to Home Exhibition on Facebook

Home from Home

153 Woodhouse Lane, Leeds
11th - 18th March 2011
Curated by Louise Atkinson
Image by Jacob Schuhle-Lewis

'With ideas ranging from the domestic to displacement, over 80 artists from 7 different countries have contributed to this years Artist Book Collective exhibition around the theme of Home. 153 Woodhouse Lane is the setting for Home from Home, to be shown alongside the 14th Leeds International Artist Book Fair. As a spacious Victorian terrace situated over three floors, it provides the perfect backdrop for this site-specific exhibition.

Artists responded to the brief through exploring and expanding on the book as a time-based medium, whilst incorporating the notion of the Everyday. Traditional book works as well as sculptural objects, text, narrative, video, furniture, audio and performance are represented throughout the show.

The concept of Home evokes various associations, including our experience of domestic spaces in relation to their designated public/private status, as well as the collection and curation of personal possessions within those spaces. Often our sense of self and security is linked to feeling ‘at home’, insinuating that this sensation is not always related to a particular place or building.

At first glance, Home from Home gives an impression of family, refuge and sanctuary, but upon closer inspection, it also begins to uncover associated feelings of anxiety and uncertainty relating to superstition, illness and transience.' Abc Archive, 2011
