Recent (2019...)
This year has seen me developing the future strategy for HOUSE Biennial , looking at its regional and national position within the visual arts. Interesting to consider new ways of commissioning and developing audiences, mindful ofd the character and history of the organisation that you are working with. This one is a slowish burn and I'm looking forward to seeing how it all progresses.
I'm nearly at the end of the 2018 - 2019 a-n.Mentoring programme where I have been working with four artist via phone or online sessions and am delighted to have been asked to do the same for five artists from 2019 - 2020. I also continue to mentor some other artists - always fascinating and gets me to more studios, having conversations and seeing art !
A Woman's Place Project is in a development phase at the moment. It's no the easiest time to be raising money and developing ideas. Agendas seem quite limited as we continue in this time of economic and political uncertainty . It's always good to touch base with artists when I feel stymied by others, artist have a way of seeing the world differently and risk is part of the creative dynamic.
Oh - and the dog arrived from Greece. Much fun to be had and chewing to be managed. A rainy October is proving challenging!

2016 - 2018
A Woman's Place Project
Our 2016 - 2018 programme included new artists commissions, exhibitions (including Liberties 2015 & 2016) , a film and events programme, and a study day.
In 2018 Lubaina Himid, CJ Mahony, Lindsay Seers, Emily Speed, Alice May Williams and Melanie Wilson were commissioned by curators Lucy Day and Eliza Gluckman for A Woman’s Place Project to realise new work at National Trusts’ Knole in Sevenoaks, Kent. The works highlighted the progression towards female equality through the stories of the women who have contributed to the spirit and history of Knole. Home to the Sackville family for 400 years, Knole is the setting for Virginia Woolf’s Orlando.
