We had a great response to the Drawing Performance event last weekend @newartgallery Many thanks to @AlexCBillingham for their durational performance throughout the afternoon, and Corinne for their film&virtual performance and Cristina who led the collaborative drawing session💜

Secret project for 2025. Very slowly easeing myself back into making. By playing with materials & sounds. Combining resin casting with Lyra - 8 sounds. Just kinda having fun. I'll be working on this one for the next year, feels like the next step on from Transuranic elements

You can find our Collections Community Panel led events programme for Equal+Able on @newartgallery Eventbrite including a sketching for wellbeing event for #WorldMentalHealthDay led by Cristina Celestini and with performances by @AlexCBillingham & Corinne eventbrite.co.uk/o/the-new-art-…

Another day of experiments. Testing out new ways of working with materials & learning Sketchbook app. ( yes I'm old) I love working with physical and digital seeing how they influence each over.

@jon_sleigh @StryxArts Already feel welcomed into the pages

Beautiful day back in the studio @StryxArts meeting awesome humans and researching. Working my way through @jon_sleigh excellent book atm.

@jon_sleigh @WolvArtGallery Aww beautiful. Hopefully heading over tomorrow x

Very early R&D for secret project. 1st week vaguely feeling well enough to make work and I've missed it. Cave systems & canal barges are my current areas of research so hit me up if you know any fun caves I should try n visit. #caverns #disabledart #unrealengine

Reminded me how much I love making sculptural work and the interplay of different materials. Excited for the next big project. Its something special. Shhhhh. Secret.

Today I got all my work from Transuranic elements returned after 6 months on display @newartgallery Feels very odd but good. Kinda like meeting old friends again. It was such a beautiful show and I will miss it but I also learnt so much from it.

Got a cheeky interview with @runriotlondon about my upcoming performance of Submerged @WeAreUglyDuck as part of disturbance June 22nd / 23rd run-riot.com/articles/blogs… Talking about disability in the arts / the ethereal timelessness of Dungeness. 📷 by @thatclareunsworth
