The Open Studios event, hosted by ASC and Turps, brought together a diverse community of artists, designers, and makers at The Chaplin Centre in Walworth.
I had the pleasure of participating in the ASC 2022 Open Studios event at Thurlow Street, held on the 13th and 14th of May 2022. This event was a fantastic opportunity to open the doors of my studio and share my creative process with the public.
For me, the highlight was engaging with visitors and discussing the inspirations behind my work. As an artist who explores altered states of consciousness through fine art prints, video, and audio-visual installations, it was rewarding to see how my abstract organic aesthetics resonated with the audience. The event provided a unique platform to connect with art enthusiasts and fellow artists, fostering a sense of community and shared passion for the arts.
Participating in the ASC 2022 Open Studios was not just about showcasing my work; it was about inviting others into my creative space and sharing the journey of my artistic practice.
The themes behind the work I showcased included nature connection/connectedness, biophilic design, neuroaesthetics, the relationship between technology and nature, nature religions, the cycles and rhythms of nature, and plant medicines. I had recently exhibited a body of work on these themes at Curious Kudu Gallery in a group show called NATURE/CONNECT. Additionally, I had just returned from a week immersed in the Tuscan countryside at an artist residency at Studio Panicale, which deeply influenced the pop-up exhibition and printmaking archive which I displayed.
Here’s a video panning around my studio, showcasing the work:
