I should really remember to write. But I write so much, I should really remember to make.

Life is a never-ending to-do list

Blog posts will be taken from my Instagram feed to make life eaiser…

Reflexo exhibition, São Paulo.

Reflexo is opening in Echos Studio, São Paulo on Saturday. Thank you to Juliana Lauretta for the huge amount of work she has done to put this together 🙏🏻 and I really appreciate the opportunity to exhibit with such a talented group of artists.

The exhibition statement says “Artists mirror the period of time and culture they live in.

The unique and passionate ways they see and experience the world has the potential to inspire, spark change, break boundaries and reflect back to society.”

the sting [print] (2022) will be available to buy with the money being donated between Endangered Bodies Brazil and First Steps Eating Disorders. Endangered Bodies is a global charitable organisation with different divisions around the world to help work with communities on body image:

“There is a growing movement of women, girls and men who reject the horrors of body uniformity and cherish instead the variety of body shapes, sizes, colours, ages of us all. We are determined to change the visual landscape so it reflects all of us from New York to Nairobi, from Shanghai to Lima, from Delhi to Bangkok, from London to Tehran, from everywhere you are to everywhere we are.”

First Steps to Understanding Eating Disorders are a UK based charity whose “founding principles are based on the experiences of individuals who have had, are still living with, and have recovered from eating disorders and comorbid mental health conditions.” They actively acknowledge how race and culture other people’s bodies:

“Cultural views of bodies can be vastly different all over the world and are impacted by our different histories, including oppression, colonialism and racism.” https://firststepsed.co.uk/race-culture-and-body-image/

Here’s hoping this print of my object illustration sells🤞

Will post pics from the exhibition when it ends next month.
