I really enjoyed taking part in the WAM exhibition at the Crypt Gallery under St Pancras Church. It was great to see my Post Consumer Material Culture work in another context. It was such a different setting to using a gallery wall and was really interesting to see the contrasts. There were physical constraints like not being able to screw things all over the wall so piling them up in a confined space felt rather more natural this time. In an ideal world I would’ve used candles to light it but of course that wasn’t allowed for health and safety reasons. I had fun playing around with the spot lights though and seeing how using extremely directional lighting created a much more interesting depth to the work than using no light at all. The contrast was much better than just mysterious darkness.

I’d like to say a massive thank you to Marie Maynard for organising the whole exhibition and her wonderful curating job. Thanks also to the other artists. It was a great quality show and an honour to be amongst you all! Here are some photos of all the work at the exhibition.
