Here's hoping you're having a Merry Christmas, or at least good day or two to relax a bit and take stock of how your year has gone. If, like me, you're taking a day to do nothing much than eat, browse the internet and sleep, then good on you.
Last weekend I visited London and had a chance to drop into a one-day arts event in South London and The World Goes Pop exhibition (until 24th Jan 2016) at the Tate Modern. The latter did say a lot about how much exposure and recognition artists get when they are on the periphery of an art movement because of gender or geography. To put it another way, if you aren't in the spotlight or closely connected to the key players, at the time when the art you're making is fashionable, it appears that you may have to wait for revised editions of art history before you get the support you deserve.
This year I have had fun experimenting with using my camera-phone to photograph urban and social landscapes, such as 'new town' developments and arts events, and sharing these on Instagram. In this spirit I'm posting up one of my snaps (from a Tate Modern balcony) to send you festive greetings.
All the best!
