Exhibited in Plymouth






























This was my first time exhibiting in Plymouth - my home town. I left it aged 18 desperate to get to London. Decades later it has a fast growing arts scene - thankfully - and Plymouth Arts Weekender is in it's 2nd year. Six Caroline Place is the project of Charlotte Squire who selected 8 artists for Uncanny World of Interiors. The setting has layers of domestic unspoiled-ness (I loathe all those super modernised interiors you see when perusing rightmove etc.) - a perfect backdrop.































Holding their own against the funky wallpaper are the skillful, intriguing paintings by David Edmond.
































A curious corner created with a sculpture (made from interior items) by Charlotte Squire and paintings by David Edmond against the wallpaper that Charlotte and inhabitants haven't decided whether to keep yet or not; lovable and livable are different things aren't they?!





































Where the wallpaper is gone there are many different coloured patches of plaster wall; gorgeous colours and textures. I loved showing my chandeliers here because the texture of my tarnished and rusty metal items felt so at home in a space that also showed it's history. It was a fantastic weekend chatting to the many visitors doing the Plymouth art trail - thanks to all who took part!

Uncanny World of Interiors



















Please excuse my absence from the blog - I got distracted by joining instagram! I really don't know how people keep up with using all the social media, the networking is fun but time consuming. Now I'm about to dip my toes in the Plymouth art scene at Plymouth Art Weekender. I was a foundation art student here aged 16-18; several decades ago, in an age before drastic cuts when we actually got given boxes of pastels, paints and a drawing board on arrival, oh happy days. 
If you are in this neck of the woods at the weekend please come along to 6 Caroline Place, Millbay, Plymouth PL1 3PR. Curated by my friend the artist Charlotte Squire the Uncanny World of Interiors, 'showcases the work of 8 artists and designers working with everyday materials, transforming the mundane into objects of desire'.  Sat & Sun 24/25th 11am-6pm
