Our Exhibition Tracing Shadows has been postponed to September. Our new dates are 4th - 9th Sept 2020. at Snape Maltings
Helen and myself are pretty gutted to have to reschedule our exhibition to later In the year. We were so close to revealing the work from our shared project and were feeling very excited to show what we’ve been up to.
The Silver lining is that the organisers of Snape Maltings are able to offer us a week at the start of September 2020 in the same gallery space, The Pond Gallery.
We are crossing fingers our situation and current lock down in the Uk will have been relatively lifted by then.

I shall continue to work on ideas and projects and of course we now have more time to ‘polish’ our Publication to accompany the exhibition. This publication will include a section devoted to text and images from a ‘conversation’ with Kailas Elmer. Kailas is the Publisher and Founder of Trebuchet Magazine and has been generously offering his time and knowledge to collaborate on a ‘conversation’ with both of us to help us ‘draw out’ some of the influences, methods and experience from this project. Its been a real pleasure working with Kailas.
I shall also be working from home for the foreseeable future and today I have been making some changes to my small flat to ensure it’s a bit more practical to continue my ‘making’ .
We all have some really difficult challenges in the weeks ahead. For now its ‘regroup’ and ‘chin up’ .
Stay safe everyone. x

and lastly.. Helen and myself will continue to collaborate and work on ideas and development. You can follow Helen’s Work on her Instagram Page.
Also… Determined to keep some sort of routine we at the Digswell Arts Forge Studios will be making and sharing a piece of work per week online.
We are calling this project Forge Artists Navigating These Times.
We hope to display all the work we make, at the Forge studios, when this is all over. You can follow this project on the Digswell Arts Instagram page
