​

'Delusions of Grandma' tour with Arts Council England. 

​

I am currently on a DYCP (Develop Your Creative Practice) funded tour with Arts Council England, which involves visiting 7 sites of personal and family significance - Merthyr Tydfil, Cardiff, Cambridge, London, Glasgow, Grantham and Margate - gathering material and developing image, writing and film, while also hosting truth workshops.

​

Some work has been shared already, with more on the way this Autumn.

​

You can next see my work publicly at 'Queer Art(ists) Now' at Space Station 65, Kennington, London - I will be attending the private view on Friday 16th September and would love to meet people who have been engaging with my work online. The show runs for 3 weeks, until the 8th October, and is jam-packed with lush talent so go and enjoy it!

​

Coming up in Autumn I will be hosting an art-based radio show every last Sunday of the month with Margate Radio.
