So I want to encourage anyone reading this to support living artists like me. We all have a choice where we spend our money, and that has huge power. As a self employed, independent artist I feel the pressure just the same, and I certainly understand the attraction of a bargain.īut I am going to use this post, and this week on social media, to draw attention to all the work I have done this year to make my original artwork accessible to everyone. I made a post on Instagram yesterday about Black Friday and the pressure we all feel to spend and ‘find deals’ this time of year. I’m also selling one of my hand-gilded prints of this piece:Ĭlick here to grab the last one! I’ve only had 2 prints made of this and won’t be reprinting. The show is in aid of the Elephant Nature Park in Thailand, and 20% of all sales during the show goes to support the work they do there rescuing abused and neglected elephants. My latest piece The Emancipator also made his debut at Brush Gallery in Brighton this week, where it will appear as part of the Elephant group show until December 24th. The Private View was absolutely packed and it was a brilliant show all round, and a win in the sadly continuing battle to legitimise embroidered art as Art.
My piece A Benediction From The Old World made his public debut, amongst the best contemporary textiles artists working today. It’s very rare that I write about anything on here other than my art and it’s creation, so I’ll ease into it with pictures from the recent inaugural exhibition of The Society For Embroidered Work, at The Clerkenwell Gallery in London.
