Learning with Miriam

I’m delighted to announce I am presenting several of my works in a group exhibition of ‘Political Art’ in Poland at the CCA Warsaw. It features a collection of prints from my original ‘Peter and Jane Series (2014) that became works in the revised First Edition of ‘We Go to the Gallery’ following the Harlequin Ladybird contention which you can read more about here. They are to be shown alongside installations of the full pages of both ‘We go to the Gallery’ (2015), and my most recent publication ‘We do Lockdown’ (2020). There is also a room dedicated to a series of lightboxes of ‘Isis in Sylvania’ (2015).

Throughout Lockdown, I scurried away to a basement in Soho and created a beautiful hand-painted book ‘We do Lockdown.’ The limited Artists edition, printed on fine Nautilus paper, has just arrived back from printers. You can buy a copy here: www.dungbeetlebooks.com

Artists edition is £20 (1000 imprint), commercial edition available in Waterstones and many independent bookshops for £8.99

In March of 2020, Eight original paintings from my Dung Beetle books went on show in Amsterdam at ‘A Perfect Day’ exhibition. I opened the show on the 6th, and did a live Q&A on the 7th.

A series of hand drawn etchings based on my observational sketches of Thamesmead. This was a brutalist London suburb created in the late 1960s, by the GLC. It went into decline after being used as the set for Kubrick’s ‘A Clockwork Orange,’ and now exists as a kind of monument to a failed utopia. The soft ground etching techniques, using shades of grey, is echoed in the neglected estate.
