NOVEMBER 2020
For the past few weeks I have been dedicated to a work in progress that I hope to fully reveal in December. This month’s update just contains some revised exhibition date details due to National Lockdown 2.0. I suppose we can call the post-Dec 2nd tier levels Lockdown 2.1?
Royal West of England Academy 168th Open Exhibition
As I mentioned last month I am delighted to have had ‘Kerala, rewilding’ accepted to the 168th edition of the Royal West of England Academy’s annual Open Exhibition in Bristol, UK.
Unfortunately the opening has now been delayed until 2nd January at the earliest as Bristol falls into Tier 3. The exhibition will still run until March so there will hopefully be plenty of opportunities to view the show in person. That said the RWA is also going to place the whole show online so even if you cannot make it to Bristol then you will be able to experience the huge range of work. For more information click through to their website here.
‘Kerala, rewilding’ - on show at the RWA’s 168th Open Exhibition in Bristol - soon…
Shop sale and discount code
My webshop has been repopulated with several pieces of work that I have either forgotten to offer to the public before now or have finally managed to mentally let-go from display in my own home.
What’s more there is a 30% discount code in effect from now until the end of 2020 if you wanted to spruce up your home, or someone else’s. Use ‘SPRUCE’ at the checkout to claim the price reduction. I will endeavour to send out all purchased artwork as soon as possible (you-know-what permitting).
Here are a couple of examples of new additions to the shop:
Hastings Open Exhibition, not currently open
Although ‘Let go’ is still hanging in Hastings Museum the venue is sadly closed due to that thing that’s going on. The exhibition may reopen once lockdown ends but for now, alas, it isn’t possible to view this piece in such a great show. They do say that they will endeavour to reopen once local restrictions ease, so I would expect it will be possible to view the show from December 3rd, but check with the Museum here before you make the trip.
‘Let go’, currently locked-down in Hastings Museum and Art Gallery until they’re able to open up again.
Mailing list
From next year I plan to release shop discount codes to mail list subscribers before the main publicity goes out on social media. If you want to join it please do enter your details here. And if you ever want to leave the list I’ll make sure that happens too.
Continue to look after yourselves and those around you. Hunker down, enjoy the winter sun whenever you can. Mushroom-picking may be seriously over by now but birds are still swirling in huge murmurations down here in Sussex so perhaps your locals will be putting on a show for you too. It’s worth leaving the house for!
