Far From Here

Round Table Gallery, Grays Wharf, Penryn, Cornwall. Curated by James Meredew / Ancient Magic Books

Group show with Ben Weller, Gin Rimmington Jones, Jack Whitefield, James Meredew, Kasia Murfet, Max Searl, and Will Ritson

Having previously lived on the north coast of Cornwall, these pieces were created during my first few weeks spent in Penwith. Small moments that express how it feels to be in this enchanting part of Cornwall, discovering what this new home feels like, and how it affects my work and self.

Exposed onto delicate washi paper that I’ve hand coated with silver gelatin emulsion, the surface of the works are made up of myriad brushstrokes, imperfections and subtle textures.

My artistic practice explores the intersection of personal healing and creative expression.

By implementing a wabi sabi approach, and filtering photographs and memories of moments of my life through it, I can not only elicit the ethereal atmosphere I desire within the work, but also process my own feelings and emotions in a positive and compassionate way by embracing imperfection rather than trying to control it.
