Seeking to evoke the atmosphere of Brutalist architecture in playful and thought provoking ways, The Car Parks Project, our first exhibition, celebrated the multi-storey car parks of Plymouth. The installation comprised individually and co-created 2D, 3D and audio works which toured three venues.
In September 2024, we were invited to take over Terre Verte Gallery, Altarnun in Cornwall for a two week residency and evolving exhibition on the theme of Air. This included facilitating a one day workshop open to selected artists and writers from across Devon and Cornwall.
Most recently, our three week residency in the project space at GROW Plymouth culminated in an exhibition for Plymouth Art Weekender, October 2026. Totems for Troubling Times included sculptural installations, assemblages and container-based work that functioned as contemporary reliquaries, altars, vending systems and shrines. By examining the convergence of the spiritual and the transactional, the project sought to explore ways that belief, behaviour and exchange are constructed and commodified in contemporary life, and how objects accumulate meaning. As part of the show we invited 22 artists and academics whose practice aligned with these themes to submit a “genuine fake” relic or shrine, many of which were exhibited in a pair of vitrines and on shelves in a “fake” Wunderkammer which I drew on the gallery wall.
