Very pleased to announce I am the winner of the Ip-art Award for Visual Art. I have been very fortunate to have worked with Town Hall Galeries with Ip-art workshops in the past, but to have the opportunity to create an entirely new work for display is a big step for me. The project “Childhood Remixed” will have me scouring the local car-boot sales to find items from my childhood and yours, to create an entirely new work, accompanied by workshops, lectures and more. “Childhood Remixed” will be an automated orchestra of toys from my childhood utilising the skills I have learnt as an adult to bring them to life.

The piece will be on display in the Town Hall Galleries from May 29th – July 11th and forms part of Ip-art 2010, with special events announced nearer the time.

The award is provided by Turnstone and Ipswich Borough Council Arts Grants and I am very pleased to be given the opportunity to do a project such as this in my home town.
