Recently my concertina book was featured in Aspex Galleries one day artist book event, Substance! The day contained various groups and artists showcasing their unique books as well as talks and performances. My book featured alongside others form the University of Portsmouth. This was a great opportunity for me to keep my work in the public eye, as another piece of mine has already been up in Aspex (see my previous blog post!).
My continued theme of mermaids makes my current project recognisable and hopefully will get the audience to link the work together, creating greater interest.
I have had work displayed in exhibitions before, but I feel exhibiting in Aspex is an even better opportunity as it is a public gallery which is free to enter, accessible to all people, meaning more exposure to everyone in general (hopefully)! The previous exhibitions I have contributed to have always been part of a university or college, whereas Aspex is an independent gallery, so my work is reaching a broader audience.
I am very grateful to have been part of the exhibition and look forward to having my work in the public domain again soon!
