A Sneaky Soapy peek

Not quite the finished article, but a wee taste (if you've ever tasted soap) of some of the work I've been doing for the Govanhill Open Doors days, this month. The exhibition's only on for two days (the 19th and 20th of September) so get yerself down between 10am and 4pm to see the baths in their current state of repair (ferns and all) and also some fantastic artwork.

Govanhill Steamie

I'm currently working on a project for Govanhill Baths Opendoors days 2009. This is my space- it's in an area by the private baths at Govanhill Baths, Glasgow. My work for this project is based on stories about the baths, told to me by my father. It's based on the senses involved in nostalgia- namely smell and touch. There's a website for the baths: it's http://www.govanhillbaths.com/

The opendoors exhibition will take place on the weekend of the 19th and 20th of Septemeber. There's going to be loads of other artists and attractions, so be sure to come along!

Natalie Moore

Natalie Moore at New Designers exhibited these beautiful plates! She dips lace and crochet in slip fires them. I'd love to eat cake from one of these!

Debbie Smyth

I came across Debbie Smyth's work last week. It's absolutley fantastic- from a glance her drawings look very architectural and clean. Get a little closer though, and you can see that each line is made by a length of thread wound around a dress-making pin.

Fabulous. Why didn't I think of that?
