I AM OKAY / I AM NOT OKAY wins award

Posted on Posted in Exhibitions, Moving Image, NewsLeave a comment

Two of my works were selected for Southampton City Art Gallery‘s biannual Open Exhibition, and I was over the moon to attend the opening and discover that my moving image work I AM OKAY / I AM NOT OKAY had been awarded the New Media Prize.

The other work selected was an ink self-portrait from the ongoing series, this one made after the outbreak of war in Ukraine and a poignant online conversation with fellow artists which we concluded in silence.

The theme of this year’s exhibition is ‘What does culture mean to you?’ and it includes many wonderful works. It’s on until 10th September.

Self Portrait Prize 2021: longlist exhibition

Posted on Posted in Exhibitions, News

I’m very happy to hear that my ink drawing has been long listed for the Ruth Borchard Self Portrait Prize, and will be part of an online exhibition hosted by London gallery Piano Nobile and Artsy, selected by a panel including Will Gompertz and Victoria Miro. The letter of confirmation was particularly satisfying to receive:

“From over 2000 entries your work has been identified as an outstanding contribution to the self-portrait genre and longlisted. With so many outstanding works submitted to the 2021 prize this is a huge achievement.”

The exhibitions opens on 14th May, here
