I was delighted to be invited to contribute to Open House weekend at Union Chapel. I made some exploratory works in response to the building and its hidden treasures. These small works can be seen at the chapel this weekend and will be displayed alongside a beautiful sound scape by artist James Mabbett. More details can be found here: http://unionchapel.org.uk/pages/open_house_weekend.html

On the evening of Tuesday October 7th there will be something unusual and probably bubbly occurring at The Montague Arms pub, for Frog Morris Presents. More info here:

And on Friday October 17th from 6pm, I will be delivering "Blindsided" live art interaction, to compliment my installation "A Prayer for Freedom and Peace". This will be shown at We Could Not Agree, art exhibition, for which I have been curated by artist Vanya Balogh. Save the date! More details to follow in October.
