Be Our Guest opened on Saturday, accompanied by glorious weather for the barbecue and workshops.

Oriel Davies staff put in a tremendous amount of work to get everything ready on time - with many working to the small hours and some not going home at all. The result, however, was worth it, resulting in a completely transformed gallery space populated by works large and small, overt and covert, giving visitors a really exciting, intriguing and immersive experience.

One of my favourite things to do was watch the CCTV screen in the (wonderfully grotty and passive-aggressive) reception area (by Tiff Oben and Helene Roberts).

From here you could spy on gallery visitors as they explored the works and witness their surprise on discovering some of the more unseemly aspects of the show.

It was also really nice to see Moyra and Jim (from Yesterdays B&B) and the other local B&B owners enjoying the show. Many of the works were inspired by their businesses.

The exhibition is on until 4 September. More info: Oriel Davies

I am very pleased to announce that I have been awarded a research and development grant from Arts Council England.
This award will enable me to research and produce three new works using various forms of public engagement over the next five months, along with mentoring from three respected arts practioners to help me develop my practice and create a more sustainable career.
More information will follow as the months progress - keep tabs on my development by following the R&D blog.
