'Skin' Exhibition, 23rd Feb - 2nd March. Sam Scorer Gallery, Lincoln.



Photography, Textiles (embroidery), Conceptual Textiles, Fine Art and Make-up Styling from the following exhibitiors and models:

Tessa Acti (Nottingham Trent University). Samantha Barker (Nottingham Trent University). Leah Barr. Vanessa Haines. Elly Lucas.Tom Martin (Central St Martins). Rick Nunn. Sian Revill. Georgina Robinson. Juliet Richmond (Lincoln University). Rebecca Sampson (Loughborough University). Emily Saunders (Nottingham Trent University)

For me, the theme of this exhibition focuses on the notion of skin as a blank canvas. A fragile, perfect and pure surface ready for the embellishments and objects we adorn it with. These adornments are to portray our individuality, our personality and our taste. Our skin provides the perfect background to these additions. The beauty in the pieces I have created for this Exhibition is the background – the simplicity of it enhances the detail of the hand embroidery.

This exhibition will be running from Weds 23rd Feb - Weds 2nd March 2011.

Open Weekdays and Sunday 10am - 4pm and Saturday 10am - 5pm

Sam Scorer Gallery, Lincoln, 5 Drury Lane, Lincoln, LN1 3BN.

Amsterdam!

Such an inspiring city!!! Here are a couple of my favourite pics from my weekend away! I love the eclectic architecture and canals and beautiful shops, definately one of my favourite cities. We also had a little jaunt to Rotterdam - very different to Amserdam, completely industrial, modern and had an intersting bleakness to it. It was a very fleeting visit to Rotterdam - definately a city I need to explore further!
