TOUCH GRASS group exhibition announcement - bought to you by @creativedebuts & @studio404.world , taking place in East London’s Laundry Studios - June 4th - 6-9pm
(2 Warburton Rd, London E8 3RT)
touch-grass.eventbrite.co.uk

I’ll have a couple of my works being exhibited at this event. Pieces made with my signature use of pyrotechnics which explore the connections between creation and destruction, where pyrotechnic materials mirror the processes of plant life, from seeds breaking down soil to leaves transforming light. Revealing how rupture can be an essential part of growth.

RSVP : touch-grass.eventbrite.co.uk

See you there 🧨

‘Neptune’ - mixed media and smoke grenade application 🔵🧨 in collaboration with Ellesmere College for Special Education and the National Space Centre.
On show in Leicester Museum & Art Gallery (180 x 180cm)

“Working with the kids at Ellesmere was a fun & messy time. By allowing them to be free on the canvas to do what they want with a specific colour palette created the right space for sporadic mark-making. I felt honoured to tie it all together with my signature use of pyrotechnics and bring Neptune into the picture.”
