Joy

On display in Gallery 1 at East Quay until Sunday 31st January 2027 ⁠

Featuring work by selected artists ⁠

I’m very pleased to announce I have had ‘The Outsider’ and mixtapes selected for the Joy exhibition currently showing at East Quay, Watchet, Somerset, UK.

About the exhibition:

What does joy mean to you? What brings joy? How does it take shape⁠ in your body, your practice, your relationships, or your connection to⁠ place? Is joy fleeting or sustaining, quiet or expansive, deeply personal⁠ or shared? Where does joy live in everyday life, and how can it be⁠ cultivated, protected, shared, or re-imagined?⁠⁠

The artists in this exhibition respond to these questions through⁠ an eclectic range of personal, reflective practices. From treasured⁠ relationships, pets, and landscapes, to abstract paintings and⁠ sculptures – from colourful florals and nostalgic possessions to stories⁠ of resilience and power, these works invite us to consider how joy can⁠ be gentle yet transformative, tender yet resonant, and quietly essential⁠ to how we keep going through difficult times.⁠
