Mapped Festival is now in full swing across Lancaster, with 4 other visual artists: Carlos Franco, Lauren Miller, Carla Nizzola and Laura Stevens, we have transformed disused spaces in Lancaster town centre into a fantastic collection of contemporary art. I am extremely proud to be a part of Mapped Festival. Two excellent performances from David McBride and Chris Williams started the festival off on a fantastic start at the pre-view evening on Friday.
Both of my shops have had many visitors, many more than I had anticipated for the opening weekend. I am thrilled by the positive and creative response I have had to my interactive A Beach in an Arcade piece, where local people have been painting pebbles for the creation of a 'Lancastrian' beach.
Photographer Richard Davis managed to capture the essence of this piece in this photo:
The shops are a perfect venue for my work, capturing the interest of people passing by. I am also in love with the architecture surrounding the shops, which contribute beautifully to the "Brighton" and arcade theme in Expressing Pride.
