Proud to have my work in the Plymouth Art Vending Machine

A one-of-a-kind vending machine was installed in Drake Circus, Plymouth’s biggest shopping centre – stocking poems, plays and pin badges made by local artists. Shoppers were able to buy the single-page poems and plays for just £1, with all proceeds going back to the artists who created them. The poems and plays were carefully packaged in boxes inside the vending machine, with each box containing one of four enamel pin badges inspired by Plymouth landmarks.

By the end of the project82 writers had submitted over 350 unique pieces of writing and 850 boxes were sold!

EXHIBITION - Radiance, Rubrics and Rituals: So we are held

The Sapphire Blue Collective will be exhibiting at Maketank, Exeter 17 to 29 July 2023 (open daily 10am to 4pm, closed Wednesdays, open until 6pm on Thursdays, special viewing and meet the artists on Friday 21 July from 5pm to 8pm).

The collective’s highly anticipated second show will feature the work of ten practitioners working across a range of disciplines including; ceramics, weaving, photography, painting, drawing, object making, assemblage and fine print.

The show’s title references not only the various strategies and methodologies employed by the artists but it also draws inspiration from the Collective’s manifesto which emphasises kindness, kinship and resilience.
