I will be showing work from the Tulipiere and Irogane series with Gallery Marzee at Collect 2019
"Collect, the international art fair for modern craft and design, is the craft sector's premier showcase, bringing together galleries, artists and collectors from around the world. It offers visitors an unrivalled opportunity to see contemporary museum-quality craft from makers represented by 30-plus of the world’s best galleries."
"An exhibition of new and innovative works from the Design & Crafts Council of Ireland’s PORTFOLIO: Critical Selection 2019-20. The designer makers represented were selected by an international panel, for demonstrating excellence in craftsmanship, design quality and technical skill.
Surface Matters, curated by Liz Cooper, considers the extraordinary skill and attention to detail involved in the creation of these contemporary craft objects; from the application of an exquisite patina to the repetition of building a complex form and a deep understanding of how their materials perform which has set these makers apart."
The exhibition will tour to Artesania Catalunya – CCAM in Barcelona in June/July 2019.
I have been shortlisted for the European Prize for Applied Arts. The exhibition will tour from Mons to the National Design & Craft Gallery, Kilkenny, Ireland, from 9th February until 23rd June 2019.
"The European Prize for Applied Arts aims to reward the best creations of contemporary expression in applied arts and craftsmanship."
I received a commission from Museums Sheffield for Tulipiere 16, the first large scale piece of work that incorporates the newly developed Mikana metal material (see research page) in combination with 925 silver. The piece was hallmarked at Sheffield Assay Office. Mikana continues Sheffield’s long tradition of combining technology and industry with contemporary design and making.
Museums Sheffield is custodian of a collection of metalwork, awarded Designated Status in 1999 in recognition of its outstanding national and historical significance.
The work was presented to Museums Sheffield by the Contemporary Art Society, London.
"Artist and Melting Point curators Beate Gegenwart and Matthew Tomalin present us with a stunning selection of contemporary metal artwork and jewellery made by national and international artists. "
