“I’m interested in ideas around being lost, loneliness and the symbolic aspects of darkness - it is synonymous with fear of the unknown. In the darkness familiar places are psychologically changed; most of one’s certainty about what is there has been removed as you can only see a few yards ahead. When your eyes have little information, your imagination takes over and fills in the gaps.”

FOREST
Nottingham Castle Museum & Art Gallery, Saturday 24 May – Sunday 2 November 2025
A new contemporary art exhibition at Nottingham Castle that looks at the artist’s fascination with trees, forests, and woodland.
Some artists have reflected on deeply personal connections to Sherwood Forest or the Major Oak, while others take a broader perspective, exploring the essence of woodlands or their relationship with a greenwood canopy, venturing into themes of perambulation, folklore, grief, and climate change.
Featured artists include: Arianne Churchman (London), Tim Fowler and Graeme Hawe (Leicester), Ashley Gallant (Lincoln), Jasper Goodall (Brighton), Jelly Green (Suffolk), Terence Lane (Nottingham), Caroline Locke (Nottingham), Tach Pollard (Buckinghamshire), Yelena Popova (Nottingham), The Window Women (Reggie Pugh and Gina Harries Pugh) (Nottingham), and Jennie Syson (Nottingham).

Wälder (Forests) From Romaniticism to the Future. 16.03.24 — 11.08.24
I am delighted to be a part of this exhibition at Museum Sinclair-Haus, Bad Homburg, Frankfurt which explore connections between romantic and contemporary ideas about the forest - especially against the background of current ecological crises.
In the exhibition at the Sinclair House Museum, contemporary art enters into exciting dialogues with works of Romanticism. In three chapters, visitors experience how artists make the beauty, liveliness and sometimes eeriness emanating from the forest tangible. visit Museum Sinclair-Haus here.
