So, the lovely WIRE collective invited me to exhibit a piece at their Hydra exhibition, along with a hoard of excellent artists. The project is a great concept and it is a pleasure to be a part of it.
My painting 'fledgling' is there for your viewing pleasure, so be sure to head over to Bolton for this treat.

Trouble that cannot
be overcome by a single effort due to its many aspects or its
persistent and pervasive quality.
The collective WIRE
has curated the exhibition titled Hydra.
The
aim of the exhibition is to present examples of the diversity of
approaches within contemporary art and foster connective strands
between art and society. We have very strong views regarding the
importance of art within culture and we believe that to truly
progress we must learn from the past, in both art and life.
WIRE
is a collective founded by a group of four postgraduates undertaking
MA Fine Art at the University of Bolton. The inclusion of invited
artists within the exhibition is centred on the inspiration WIRE has
gained throughout their journey.
The
process of art making has also become an important aspect to negate
the high speed nature of our current time and the multi faceted
problems we all face in life.
Regardless
of the influx of digital information in our culture, communication is
still routed through wire and experienced on a physical level. In
this respect, contemporary art feeds from its connectivity to arts
valuable history, both physical and theoretical processes carry
knowledge towards engagement and to inspire self reflection and human
connection.
