'Shimmer', exhibited as part of Fully Awake

'Shimmer', was exhibited as part of the 'Fully Awake', at Holden Gallery Manchester. Fully Awake 05.11.21 - 17.12.21 Curated by Ian Hartshorne and Sean Kaye for Teaching Painting. Fully Awake 6.6 is the final show of a six-part intergenerational cycle of exhibitions involving academics, artists and art educators in the UK. In each version of the show several artists are invited to submit a piece of work to be included in an exhibition. In addition to submitting a piece of work themselves, the artists are also asked to invite two ‘guests’ (each of whom will also submit work for exhibition) with the following conditions: one must be an artist that they have been taught by; and one must be an artist that they have taught. This unorthodox invitational approach creates unexpected fluid networks through collaborations and the exhibitions are intended to reveal these. The artist I taught and invited to take part is Conor Rogers, and the artist who taught me is the late Peter Lloyd Lewis.
