I have been asked to give an artist talk on my process and practise at the Walker Art Gallery, this is also to be followed by a workshop examining the concepts behind my entry into this yeas John Moores painting prize.
The talk starts at 12.30 and is a free event, the workshop starts at 2pm or just after the talk till 4pm. The workshop will give people an opportunity to paint or fold a butterfly, or they can contribute by using a piece of their own paper, something that is important or relevant to their own lives.
The workshop is a collaborative installation of 433 folded paper butterflies, a butterfly for each of the British servicemen and women that have lost their lives in the current Afghan conflict. The butterflies are folded from envelopes that have travelled through the postal system.
The installation will be in the resource area next to the John Moores 2012 exhibition. The installation will be on display until January 6th 2013.
