Details of my Abbey Fellowship Award at The British School at Rome from Jan - March 2026 are now online at the Abbey Awards website. So it goes…
British artist David Osbaldeston’s work moves fluidly between drawing, print, painting and collage to explore power relations between the personal and systemic.

Extract from David’s ‘Meet the artists’ BSR blog ….further info see link in bio

“What became evident was a need in the studio to position each pair of paintings with photo documentation as posters in a bid to close the gap between the work and its wider context”

The artist would like to express warmest thanks to The Abbey Council and all at The British School at Rome for the facilitation and support in the realisation of new work.

Tatreez is a traditional Palestinian form of embroidery that has been passed down through generations. More than a decorative craft, it is a visual language of identity, heritage, and collective memory. Each motif, colour, and stitch carries cultural significance, connecting people to their villages, histories, and stories.

As part of my MA Photography practice, in @manmetuni ,I created this Tatreez piece to explore themes of memory, displacement, belonging, and cultural preservation. My wider work focuses on Palestinian histories and the ways in which objects, crafts, and traditions can carry stories across generations and geographical boundaries. By engaging with Tatreez, I wanted to reflect on how cultural identity can be preserved through making, even when people are separated from their homeland.

This work connects Palestinian cultural traditions with my own journey as an artist and researcher, highlighting the power of craft as a form of remembrance, resilience, and storytelling.

Threads become maps, patterns become memories. Through Tatreez, I explore the resilience of Palestinian culture, where every stitch holds a story that refuses to be forgotten.

Bunker Talk #165 with Stephen Sutcliffe is taking place next week at the Salutation Pub, tickets are available via our bio!

UK based artist Stephen Sutcliffe (1968, Harrogate) creates and exhibits films, collages, wall paintings and photographs from an extensive archive of material he has been amassing since childhood, together with items found in institutional collections.

Often reflecting on aspects of British culture and identity and having literary origins, the results are melancholic, poetic and satirical amalgams which subtly tease out and critique ideas of class-consciousness and cultural authority.

Employing an extensive editing process Sutcliffe’s works subvert predominant narratives, generating alternative readings through the juxtaposition and layering of both found and self-generated material.

Delighted that @fi_foreign_investments were invited to create ‘Wanted, Unwanted and Wanted Again’ by curators @yingkwoks and Dr Pi Li at @taikwun.hk as part of ‘Stay Connected / Supplying The Globe’ in Hong Kong. Donated objects were gilded with 22-carat gold and re-sold based on number of hours spent gilding and price of gold. Thanks to @alandunn67 for design work too, show runs until 31 May.

On the windows were global Minimum Hourly Wage rates, a large map of known gold mines and daily gold prices / the gilders kept a log book of hours spent on each object. A second sale of objects will be held 30-31 May.

It was also wonderful to see other fantastic new performance work at Future Flares Festival 2026! Brigitte Jurack’s very moving bi-lingual work Failure (Terror at Night), Maddie Maycock and Isaac Morris’ ‘Stretch’ - a Quizoola for our own times - and Jeremie Cyr-Cooke’s virtuouso Imperceptible. Sadly I missed some of the other great work on show, but even still, FFF remains a highlight of the start of the year. An increasingly rare opportunity to tap into some experimental performance and theatre work from Manchester, the UK and internationally. Always brilliantly curated and managed by Neil Mackenzie. 🙏. It was also a chance for me to showcase some experimentation/work-in-progress with fantastic performers and colleagues Rachel Rimmer-Piekarczyk and Amaia Mugica for a multi-screen video collage. Really exciting to be beginning to find a form for this collaboration. Looking forward to working more with them if funding works out. 🤞 1. 2. Brigitte Jurack ‘Failure (Terror at Night). 3. 4. Maddie Maycock and Isaac Morris ‘Stretch’ (work in progress)
5. 6. 7. Brigid McLeer (sketches for Otherwise - work in progress)
