where people who live in the surrounding area (in a PO postcode) can send in postcard sized pieces of work responding to their surroundings.
I saw this as a great opportunity to get my current work out into a public space. I thought this was fitting for my current project as it's set in and based on Portsmouth's history. Work representing Portsmouth, exhibited in a Portsmouth gallery - I could'nt think of anywhere better for my work to be.
After the exhibition has finished, all postcards will be donated to Portsmouth city archive service for future generations to enjoy. I think this is a great idea so they can reflect on our views of the area now. I also enjoy knowing a piece of my artwork will become part of the cities history.
I gave them one of my first mermaid etching experiments titled 'the siren of Southsea'. I hope the work and the story I create for this project will now be enjoyed for generations within Portsmouth, not just for five minutes after it's completion.
