Ego maniac alert! This wasn’t finished in time for my Barbican Library show (a load of stitched collages made from Kenneth Clark’s Civilisation book, lacking women artists). Photo of me by Michelle Richards from Alice Fisher‘s Observer article. The back is better than the front, obvs

My new sculpture ‘Love’ ~ Found chair and my own cut jeans merging together.
About gathering things to fill an emptiness, hoarding love through what we keep.
The shape almost settles into that of a woman,full, curved, resting & deeply human.

Tide Song by Laura Parker is available as part of 'Shadow and Shade', a virtual exhibition available on the BobCat Gallery website.

This is one of several pieces created with handmade washi paper, layering with paint, glazing and monoprinting that give subtle differences in tone, shape & texture...

It was lovely to catch up with Caroline Banks at her studio this week & plan exciting new adventures...

Caroline's work is full of energy - a subtle translation of movement & gesture onto canvas & paper, seemingly abstract forms that hold more than you think...

Finished! My Annual Office Party, egg tempera on panel, 20.5 x 30.5cm, October 2025
I make a holiday card every year. I thought of the figurines in this as people who came to my office Christmas party. Who would you like to talk to?

I love how each of these artists have captured the dappling of light through leaves in their own way 🌿

All part of my current virtual exhibition, Shadow and Shade, these artists bring to mind the Japanese word 'komorebi' - soft sunlight filtering through greenery...
