Thanks to everyone that came to see LAND!

- to the left @catphillipps interest in the geo-politics surrounding Gaza is used in her install by overlaying American corporate interests, with the Security Chamber and property speculating, Israeli settler adverts
- to the right @fran__copeman Re-stages a fascist rally last summer using the legend of St George and the Dragon. St George’s mother was Palestinian and yet the irony is the flag has been co opted as a nationalist/racist symbols
Thanks @kbuus 📸

Recently I went to Plymouth for a couple of pop-up book workshops held @theboxplymouth for the Triumph of Art. We had lots of people come to make their pop-up book using images from the The Box’s archive and other images. Here are some of the amazing books (and pages of books) that were made!
Being so close to Dartmoor national park, and only a couple of weeks earlier the Supreme Court upholding the decision to allow wild camping on it, it was only fitting that this worked its way into some of the books :)
I recently held a workshop in Dundee's @djcad_uod for @nationalgallery Triumph of Art. The students made a collective collage/installation. I’d been chatting to Erin Farley @aliasmacalias who is the local historian there about land ownership, mills and recreation areas that are used as places of gathering and protest. She took us on a tour of what was the Blackness estate. Afterwards we came back to the studio to make this installation. It's parts are made of:
-Magdalen Green and it's bandstand - a place of recreation and protest
-the mills on what would have been the Blackness estate
-The Tree of Liberty (a tree that was sent to prison- true story)
-Women protesting at the Timex strikes, 1993
-George Kinloch. A reformer.
-Sir John Wedderburn, 5th Baronet of Blackness.
Last week I went to Derry and held a workshop with teenagers who use the Youth Engagement Service (YES) there - as part of the @nationalgallery 's Triumph of Art. We made a gigantic collective collage using their photos of them having a good time The backdrop is at the Guildhall where iconic raves have happened (thanks Celtronic)!

A collage of my friends rave photos from when she was younger. About 5 years ago I began to make drawings of my friends that I'd met at raves... and quickly started to link it in with other forms of protest. Anyways, this is a close up of one of them. #pencildrawing #collageartwork
Some drawings with photos… some ideas around land for a future drawing. Been tidying my studio and sorting out old drawings so a good time to throw them up all together while in Japan 😝 #drawing
