Catch me if you can
November 2020
HS Dry Cleaners, London
Organised quickly with the support of the shop owner, Catch me if you can is a series of flighty paintings as postcard shown in the window of HS Dry Cleaners. Rather than relying on the quiet reverence and atmosphere of a traditional gallery space, these portable object paintings swam off into the sunset (dry cleaning shop) to see what there was to see.

June 2020
Postal vans and doorsteps, London
Joanne Newman and I posted the first in a series of envelopes as exhibition. With this collaborative project we’ve been thinking about how we want an audience to experience our work, and to try to give something that is enjoyable and light.

Captain Stormfield, Hellmouth & Assasins Reading Club
March 2019
4Cose, London
Like the course of a good conversation, Joanne Newman and I have made exhibitions together which meander through a wide range of motifs and conclude in baroque absurdities.
Captain Stormfield
The title of this show references Mark Twain’s short story Captain Stormfield's Visit to Heaven, which follows Captain Elias Stormfield on his decades long cosmic journey to heaven on a magic carpet.
Joanne’s magic-carpet-rug-objects acted for her as an in-between space of possibility, and she lent them to me as a place for my ceramic objects to sit. We held the show at 4Cose, a radical Italian food shop, gallery space, studio, and artwork, all at once - made by artists Cullinan Richards.
Hellmouth & Assasins Reading Club
After travelling to heaven, we explored hell. According to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the entrance to hell is called Hellmouth, so we started there.
Joanne made a publication and I made ceramic pieces wrapped in paintings. We then held a ‘reading club’ where we invited guests to read excerpts from hellish novels and movie scripts aloud, into a microphone by candlelight.
Future Heroine
May 2018
Raw Labs / Bow Arts, London
This artist take-over and exhibition with Jojo Hynes, Joanne Newman, Jeni Johnson was inspired by space, futurism, feminism, and real/imagined heroines.
I was working in Northern Thailand and sent 'Butterflies’ (artworks) to take part in this exhibition, which I was not able to attend in person. Inkjet prints on A3 paper were folded at the centre and sat alongside very small ‘antennae’ prints - all of which were scattered and piled throughout the space. Made with minimal funds from a laptop hundreds of miles away across land, sea, desert, jungle, using office stationary, glow sticks, and materials that could be described as nondescript.
The Legend of Síobhan Ní Eidhin
Claremorris Open, curated by Tom Morton
September 2017
Claremorris, Ireland
As part of Triangular Brush with Jojo Hynes and Joanne Newman, The Legend of Síobhan Ní Eidhin explored the importance of friendship, humour, romanticism and adventure.
Taking Jojo Hynes’ Irish name, we created a larger than life, tongue in cheek, myth and legend for the town of Claremorris on the west coast of Ireland - through souvenirs, postcards, and a haphazard parade through the streets of the town.
