Some drawings from the B&B
A small number of things became apparent in people’s ideas for ‘getting away from it all’: Sun, sea/water and isolation.

Be Our Guest
The first project for my R&D period is ‘Be Our Guest’, an exhibition at Oriel Davies Gallery in Newtown, Wales.
This exhibition sees the gallery space transformed in a bed & breakfast with artists making work in response to the notion of the traditional B&B. For my work in I chose to focus on the idea of using the B&B as a way of getting away from it all. For my research I stayed at Yesterdays B&B in Newtown for two nights, talked with staff and residents about their experiences in B&Bs and asked them to write and draw their ideal ‘getting away from it all’ ideas.

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.
