I'm in an exhibition! And it is in an old railway station too. The Venn diagram of niche interests is finally paying off. Gaze at the wonderfully designed poster for details:

If you're wondering where all the paintings are coming from conceptually, hopefully this explains things:

I was a performance artist, some of the performances I did whilst a Camberwell BA student. My main concern was and still is, is the oppressive white spaces I felt obliged to make work. Add to the fact that I didn't look like a "typical arts student" but someone who could have come off the street at Peckham (where Camberwell is near).

I was negotiating with the White Male Gaze, the white female gaze and my own. Needless to say it hit limits where I wasn't allowed to perform in the 2nd year group show like this.

So my painting practice now gets exactly the same treatment of dealing with all the gazes, including my own on my own body. My current work is based on the years of negotiation with my own body and the inevitable violence it tolerated in the past. I might share some more of my durational works later.

Finally got my hands on the Body Code book!

I don't know about you but there's something powerful about the printed word that keeps a practitioner on track to potentially helping lots of people find balance. That's on top of Certification and a belief in something higher than myself. Art does that too btw...

I've been accused in the past of not being "black enough" (whatever that means) so why not embrace it... 😶
