London Art Fair 2013

Im back! and it’s with a bang. 

The London art fair starts on wednesday 16th of Jan and I am there with Inked gallery.  I have been feverishly working away for the last few months to make new pieces.

“Mad In England” is set to rock the art fair. Black white and gold! It was a risk but we think it has paid off.

Then to top  all off, I have one of my bonnets there too. Get down there and check it out! I here it is looking pretty good.

You’ll need tickets though so I have put the link below.

This is one of three “Mad In England” framed mosaics I have made for the art fair. Each one is completely individual and full of different ceramic transfers. Black and gold though, I think looks very  bewitching.

I just became a member of the very cool West London Art Factory.

So yesterday I spent the day with the very talented Jewel Gooby, the owner of the West London Art Factory and she showed me around the studios there and how to use all the equiment.

I made my first print there….the all new Mad in England!! I am going to be selling these for just £10, with £2 going to Reel News. I only have a few, so you need to get down to the Treatment Rooms Collective HQ for the opening of our new show – details to follow….

Slag – New show opening at The Treatment Rooms Collective HQ.

SLAG!!!

Following its uber successful Xmas show (Taking Liberties), The Treatment Rooms Collective HQ, is proud to announce its new valentines special exhibiton ‘SLAG.’

The event will be held at Carrie Reichardt’s studios ……. 199 Acton Lane, Chiswick W4 5DA, on Friday the 3rd of February 6pm – Late.

Please RSVP for guest list.

The usual suspects from Mutoid Waste, Mutate Britain and The Treatmentrooms Collective will be exhibiting their work, alongside some surprise guests!!!

A female heavy show, the window display is an amazing piece of outsider art. Made by a ‘Recycling Fairy’, it is a composition of hundreds of found objects, toys and dolls made to create the Goddess Kali with babies gushing from her blood red vulva. Not your typical shop window for Chiswick!! But then The Treatment Rooms HQ is getting used to visits from the local law enforcement officers for causing a visual disturbance.

This show (as ever) gives art enthusiasts the rare opportunity to view eclectic and original artwork made by some of the top underground/outsider/lowbrow artists. Chances like this rarely come along, so make the effort to come down!.

All artwork can be bought direct from the artists (many of them will be there on the night!) 80% of the profits go direct to them; the other 20% is donated to REEL NEWS. They are an activist video collective who report from the frontline of protests from around the world, and give us an insight into what’s really going on out there as opposed to the propaganda propagated by mainstream T.V channels. Check them out on www.reelnews.co.uk

Taking Liberty’s now extended….

Well the pop up shop in a studio has been going so well…that we are extending it up until Xmas…so you still have a few days to make that trip West and bag yourself some real bargins….

Final last days of the Taking Liberty’s pop up shop in a studio…….

Well it’s been great and thanks to so many of you art lovers and friends who have popped down to my studio over the last few weeks…I’m sure you will all agree that it looks great and that there are many bargins to be had….with 90% going to the artists and 10% going to Reel News we can all afford to shop a bit ethically this year. Good news is, that it’s been so successful that we have decided to stay open this Mon, Tue 12 -8pm – with a lovely little Winter Solstice bash to finish on this Wednesday. So go on, make that special little trip down to the Treatment Rooms HQ, formally known as the Black Sheep Curiosity Shop and bag yourself a bargin…photos to follow, but remember there is always new stuff arriving…Gaye Black is due to bring stuff in this week…..

Mad in England – new commission…

I just had to show off this baby I just finished as a private commmission….Very very chuffed with the end piece….

Well you don’t want to shop up the west end then…shop with us were shonky but we make beautiful fings, its pikey but its pukka! Love Dotmaster, The Treatment Rooms Crew and good friends….

Introducing Super Vag……my activist alter ego……

Today there is a rather interesting article in the Evening Standard – ‘The naming of parts; a new frankness about vaginas…by the respected writer Liz Hoggard. Liz interviewed me for the article and I did provide a few pics…but unfortunately they were deemed a little too much for the Standard…notice there isn’t a vulva in focus in the actual piece. But hey – full marks for getting a piece about the undeniable rise of the vagina in popular culture into the mainstream. Way to go sistah!!..And remember there is still time to sew your own vagina and add it to the now legendary Shoreditch Sisters WI vag quilt (Tracey Emin eat your heart out and make way for the Craftivists).
Anyway, I thought now would be a good time to reveal my new activist alter ego – Super Vag, as photographed by the very talented Neelum Bassrall. Read the full article at This Is London
