RWA Academician Candidates Exhibition 2024
Running alongside this year’s RWA Annual Open Exhibition is the gallery’s Academician Candidates Exhibition, showcasing the work of this year’s shortlisted candidates.
I’m really excited to be included in the RWA’s Candidates exhibition this year. No idea how it will turn out, but it’s an honour to have three pieces hung in the gallery, and to be in the running to be elected as an Academician.
Lino / bronzed at the RWA Open 2023
Great to have a chance to revisit the RWA with friends recently, enjoy the show and take a few photos of my Lino / bronzed work in the main gallery there.
Lovely to be sited near Patricia Volk's sculpture too, we first exhibited together way back in 2008 I think.
Print Club News / October 2023
I’ve been making and refining my glass edition, entitled Vessel, over the summer. It remains a work in progress. The top image in the newsletter is of a 3d printed, one to one scale PLA maquette of the work, ready to be burnt out in the kiln, ahead of being cast into glass.
I’ll be working with Dr Angela Thwaites, a noted British glassmaker, in her London studio later in the autumn, in the hope of completing the work before Christmas. There’s a lot of polishing and grinding involved to complete the 11 glass components that make up the work.
RWA 170th Annual Open 2023
Really pleased to have been selected for the RWA’s 170th Open Exhibition. My piece Lino / bronzed is hanging in the main gallery.
The RWA has been beautifully refurbished recently, so if you haven’t been for a while it’s a great show, and well worth a visit. Open from 9th Sept 2023 to 14th Jan 2024.
Varnishing Day, RWA Open 2013
I misunderstood the invitation for the RWA’s annual ‘Varnishing Day’ lunch, so sadly missed the artist’s lunch and preview. Made it in with the locals for the opening though. Really pleased to find my work ‘Radial / THREE / pearlescent’ hanging in the main gallery, just across from Anna Gillespie’s fabulous small bronze ‘The Ghost of Summer’.
RWA Open 2013
Good to have been selected for the Open this year, although, at the time of posting this, it may be ‘selected not hung’. Fingers crossed for a good spot in the galleries.
The RWA Open runs from 24th November to 26th January. More information is available online here http://www.rwa.org.uk/whats-on/events/2013/11/161-annual-open-exhibition-events/
