Exhibition news- Finland, Sweden and the V&A

I have had confirmations of a few upcoming shows, with my work being accepted for two yesterday. I’m really pleased that the piece I submitted for Art Jewellery Network‘s exhibition “Home” has been accepted. You Carry It With You will be shown during the international event Koru5 during August 2015 in Finland (an event organized by the Finnish Jewellery Art Association), and during October 2015 in Space CRAFT Gallery, Ireland.

Yesterday I also confirmed the title of my solo show with Konsthantverkarna in Sweden which opens on the 19th of September and is called “Gathered/Formed”. In this I will be showing a series of utensil and vessel forms alongside found objects and images lifted from the landscapes of County Down, Northern Ireland. I’m also hoping to travel over for the opening and give an artist talk to accompany the show.

Finally I have the exciting news that I will be showing with the Contemporary British Silversmiths in the exhibition “Silver in Contemporary Life” exhibition in the Silver Galleries  of the V&A in 2016. For this I will be making a small series of utensil objects as drawings and investigations into my connection with the landscape, using silver as an expressive medium.

More to come this year as well but that it’s looking pretty good [and busy!] already.
