Walking on Eggshells
Artist Lead Project - Suspended Sentences - Unused Fish Processing Factory - Now Newlyn Filmhouse - Newlyn
2013
‘Exemplifying this community-minded approach, ‘Suspended Sentences’ has been a large artist-led group exhibition and series of events including experimental film, music and sound nights, taking place at Turners Warehouse in Newlyn, Cornwall. An old unused fish processing factory, the warehouse is currently under a suspended sentence of its own, biding time in planning department limbo awaiting a decision on plans to transform it into an art house cinema [2]. The show’s title references poet Simon Armitage’s past employment as a probation officer, or as Armitage added on hearing it, could be reminiscent of poetry being written in zero gravity.’
Jenny Brownrigg - Curator of Glasgow School of Art Gallery
Walking on Eggshells was an installation drawing on my experience of being involved with someone with combat ptsd.
The writings in each eggshell acted as a diary over a period of 6 months, conversations, thoughts, accusations, ramblings, words that couldn't be written or verbalised anywhere else but the safety of my studio.
