Kemptown Sphere has moved to 'Architectural Plants'!
Architectural Plants is a magical long-established Nursery in Pulborough, West Sussex. They sell just what is on the ticket - plants that stand out through their architectural and sculptural qualities. They have just moved to a new site and are branching out to show (and sell!) sculpture as well. I am very happy and excited to have my work there, especially as I have known the is nursery from the very beginning, when I was still gardening in Brighton.
I am planning to visit on Saturday, so more photos are sure to follow!

Kemptown Sphere for 'Encounters' Artists' Open House Brighton 2016
The piece for Encounters AOH is a about memories of living on Kemptown seafront. It will feature architectural and other detail of the street scene there. I will be making a large sphere – similar to the ones shown in my previous work. It will be covered in pure white hand-cut porcelain mosaic, with the grout lines taking centre stage, forming the design as a line drawing. The mosaic tiles are the ‘space inbetween’. This is reversal from conventional tiling and mosaic work, where the grout acts merely as a filler. It is also the first piece for me without colour. I wanted to strip away everything that I normally work with, and celebrate the elements of grout and bare tile that I tend to take for granted.
I will be posting pictures of the work in progress here
