Artist in residence at https://www.thebrookmill.co.uk HAPPY HOUR
When is a “happy hour” truly happy? Inspired by the shifting topologies of a beer garden, this 2D and 3D installation explores the intersections of mindsets, culture, and space. It reveals the tension between connection and separation, as colours, shapes, and objects playfully redefine boundaries. It reflects the complexity of our everyday world and raises questions.
HAPPY HOUR, a permanent wall installation commissioned by the Brookmill Pub, is also part of this year’s Deptford X Festival https://deptfordx.org/event/happy-hour/

I love this 17th century painting by Jan van Kessel of a dragonfly, two moths, a spider and some beetles with wild strawberries. It inspired me when I finished the abstract mural – The Flight of the Dragonfly – for the Korean restaurant Paranhodu (London, SE14).
