INSTALLATIONS and COMMISSIONS

Installed as part of an extensive site-specific arts trail across Portishead during the 2023 Arts Festival. ‘Freedom of Movement’ is a triptych consisting of 3 life size canvas panels of a female figure. These were installed in the window of Muse, a women’s boutique, hanging amongst the mannequins and women’s clothes, creating associations, drawing contrasts, and creating a dialogue about women’s lives.

Commission & installation. Through local expertise and community storytelling, a heritage narrative unique to the historic Melville area of Torquay has been created, and this project will continue an extensive piece of place making and public realm work that has been undertaken. The trail will tell Melville’s unique cultural heritage story across 10 artworks and ten locations.

A commission to create artwork specifically focusing on some of the regional theatres in the international Ambassador Theatre Group, reflecting the state of regional theatre after 500 days of pandemic-forced closure. The project was made possible by an award from the Arts Council Culture Recovery Fund, facilitated by Arts & Heritage and ably supported by Artizan CIC in Torbay. 12 selected works from the project archive are currently installed and on public display at Devon’s largest theatre, the Princess Theatre, Torquay.
