I’ve once again contributed a piece to this year’s ‘A Letter in Mind’ exhibition for The National Brain Appeal. 

The price of each work is £80 and all proceeds will go directly to The National Brain Appeal. The name of the artists will only be available once an artwork has been bought or once the exhibition closes.

I cannot reveal which work is mine, but you can view and buy artwork through The National Brain Appeal website. 

Please note, there is a private view at the gallery@oxo on 7 October (invitation only) so some of the artworks may already have been sold. 

The National Brain Appeal (formerly known as The National Hospital Development Foundation) is the charity dedicated to raising vital funds for The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, Queen Square, London. Donations help them to improve the lives of the 1 in 6 people who are affected by a neurological disorder in the UK.

I'm pleased to finally be able to reveal the work that I created for the 'A Letter in Mind' exhibition- which was created on a standard window envelope- and sold before the opening at the charity private view! The ‘A Letter in Mind’ exhibition held at the gallery@oxo earlier this month has been a great success for The National Brain Appeal – with over 1000 visitors during the week, 136 works sold and more than £10,000 raised. The National Brain Appeal have now updated the A Place for Creation web page to show which artworks have sold and which are still available. Mine is number 055! There are still more works for sale, so you can still support this great cause! The National Brain Appeal is the charity dedicated to raising much needed funds for The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery in Queen Square London. The National is one of the world’s leading centres for the diagnosis, treatment and care of patients with a wide range of neurological disorders and neuromuscular conditions including multiple sclerosis symptoms (MS), brain cancer, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, stroke, Prion disease, and head injury. Please help to improve their outcomes.

Installation view of three pieces of work as part of the ‘Parallax’ Exhibition:

‘Hóngbāo‘: Drawings, Red Envelopes (2013) ‘Hóngbāo’ is documentation of the performance during which visitors are gifted with a red envelope containing a unique drawing from a recent newspaper image.  In Chinese and other Asian societies, a red envelope or red packet is a monetary gift which is given during holidays or special occasions. Red envelopes are mainly presented at social and family gatherings. The red color of the envelope symbolizes good luck and is supposed to ward off evil spirits.

I had the pleasure of working with Monica Shanta Brown in the Mixed Other exhibition, and was so pleased to be part of this follow on exhibition, which also included Mixed Other artists Jamie Bradbury and Phillip Hall-Patch.  The relevancy of mixed-ethnicities within our society is very poignant (especially at the moment), and the show has seemed to resonate with audiences well.  I’ve had some wonderful discussions with visitors regarding my work, as well as ideas of cultural identity.

The exhibition is on until the 9th of June- “Parallax is an exhibition showcasing work by a selection of 11 artists of mixed-heritage and mixed-ethnicities. They share with us their multiple perspectives on individual cultural identity, exploring how cultural location and context shapes our perceptions of the world. This diverse collection of artwork encompassing painting, photography, film and installation, is a creative contribution to the collective dialogue on the truths and illusions of cultural definitions, boundaries and inter-communications. These artists reveal, from multiple viewpoints, complex layers of our diverse and globalised society, with each artist taking the viewer on a journey of shifting perspectives.”

Here are some photos from the private view- which was a huge success!
