Collective 22’s third exhibition, Shared Grounds, was at London Gallery West, University of Westminster from 12 - 20 July. Thirteen members of the collective took part in this show, which follows earlier exhibitions in 2022 at Brighton Photo Fringe and in Derby for the completion of our East Meets West masterclass. Shared Grounds was a dynamic looking exhibition, and London Gallery West was a wonderful space to install our work. I was happy that I could try out a couple of new Disrupted Landscapes pieces in this show.
South coast
After a very long absence I was finally able to get down to the coast and take photographs on the beach. My injury in January had meant I couldn’t take the risk, and I still felt cautious walking over the rocks and shingle. It felt great to be back by the sea at last and make up for lost time, and I’ve already been working up different ideas from these new images.
Also this month, I’ve been working on an installation layout for my work in a two-person show this autumn. Some of the images that I exhibited at Four Corners in March will be included but the room layout means that a few new pieces will be included too. Looking forward to it!
