Maylya | Plymouth Art Weekender
October 2026I was in Plymouth at 37 Looe Street for a residency and show this October, as part of the Plymouth Art Weekender. I was showing Maylya, 2025, a short film made in the historic Dry, at the National Trust’s East Pool mine site last Summer, alongside new scupltural works made with reclaimed copper and cloth.
Damp Stories workshops
September - November 2026I’ve been awarded a National Lottery Projects Grant to begin a new body of work focusing on damp. Living with it, navigating it, and looking at how it finds its way in to our homes and workplaces.
Throughout my life I've lived, often precariously, in a variety of situations affected by damp. And in my work as a heating installer and retrofit consultant I’ve seen a lot of damp, and learnt much about its causes. I’m inviting others to share their experiences of damp at a series of free art and conversation workshops this Autumn.
The workshops are designed to allow a gentle and creative opportunity to explore our responses to living with damp. We will make artworks using collage, paint, and drawing materials, and share conversation around our experiences.
- ALMA Artspace, Newquay on Saturday 26th September, 2-4pm
- Museum of Cornish Life, Helston on Thursday 22nd October 11am-1pm
- Kresen Kernow, Redruth on Thursday 5th November 11am-1 pm BOOKING LINK
If you have your own experience of living or working with damp to share, I would love to hear from you. Please get in touch via my CONTACT form.
Coming up for 2027 will be an exhibition at Auction House, Redruth (April-May 2027), and a series of film screenings at University of Reading, Exeter Phoenix and MIRROR at Arts University Plymouth.

Flamm 2026
28th Feb - 1st MarchAs a previously commissioned Flamm artist I was very glad to be invited by Creative Kernow and Counterpoints Arts to participate in this year’s festival, with a text-based commission The Thing About Making Rocks.
I also facilitated an exchange project between some of this year's commissioned artists & artists and creatives from the Counterpoints Arts Climate & Displacement group. We recorded a special episode of my Meskla Podcast, to discuss the exchange and how all the participants felt about it. You can listen to the episode below.
Over the FLAMM weekend, Jelena Sofronijevic creator of Empire Lines Podcast, invited me to join a conversation with Marie-Anne McQuay - curator of Bedrock - Liverpool Biennial 2025, for a live recording of an Empire Lines episode, you can listen to the episode HERE,
