The idea was that the residency would form part of the commemoration of 2 communication landmarks- 450 years since the Lighthouse was built at the Lizard and 50 years since the moon landings were broadcast to the world via … Continue reading Lizard Point Residency

I’ve taken on a mini-residency at Black Nore Lighthouse, on the Severn Estuary coast in Portishead, ahead of North Somerset Arts Week, when I’ll be exhibiting my work at 12 Glenwood Rise, just behind the lighthouse.  Though relatively small in stature, it makes up for it in picturesque position and has been saved and maintained by a small group of local residents. I have been … Continue reading Black Nore Lighthouse Residency
