Art & Science Critical Forum 1: Environment
Rogue Artist Studios and Project space

Although I was a bit late and it was awful weather on a Friday night I'm really glad I went to this. It's been a long time since I've listened to other artists talk about their work and then had a chance to discuss their ideas. Always great for inspiration no matter what the subject matter or medium of the work. Thanks to Annie Carpenter for organising this! Looking forward to the next one :)

The first critical forum will take place at Rogue Project Space (now on the 1st floor). We have the wonderful Alice Sharp and Bianca Manu fromInvisible Dust as special guests. The event will take the form of informal presentations by artists intersperced with discussion. The loose theme for the 1st session is 'environment'. Everyone is welcome to attend but if you would like to present your work please email Annie Carpenter - a.carpenter@mmu.ac.uk.

Kindly supported by Arts Council England.

Rogue Open Studios 2015
October 23rd - 25th 

After 3 years away from the world of art I was thrilled to be welcomed back to Rogue Artist Studios. I am back on the 1st floor sharing a space with two other lovely artists. It just so happened that I got my space back with one week to go until Rogue celebrated its 20th anniversary with its annual open studio event.

It felt great to be back in there in time to celebrate with them. As I haven't made any work for 3 years I opted to show some past work which was the work I did in a residency at Titos in Liverpool which you can read about on this blog. It was four week residency in a derelict bakery in Liverpool supported through The Arts Organisation. I also replicated some of the work in the photographs in the studio space. 

There are over 100 artists in Rogue studios and I didn't take many photographs but it was a fantastic event and a great opportunity to see some of the great work being made in the studios.
