An early ‘purpose’ of framed artwork was to represent religious ideas and iconography – this has been reversed in placing images of ‘domestic and decorative’ quasi-religious iconography within the church.

I was shortlisted for the Artsmix 2D Emerging Artist Award at The Loft, ceremony on 2 April 2009. It was an enjoyable night, and the winner in my category was Oliver Neilson. Giles Edsall won in the 3D category, and Miriam Laville got the mentoring prize. Apart from the Business category winner, all these artists were in the Trinity exhibition with me in December 2008. Congratulations all.

Looking at 'art' in and out of the gallery in connection with domestic 'real life' - as a setting, and as a way to interact with art away from its more usual presentation as a commodity object. Raising questions about how we see ourselves in relation to our possessions, how people respond to different situations and sites - what the stuff of life is all about
