On the back of my Shit Show project and exhibition, I was invited to join this collective of inspiring artist-mothers, many of whose work I already loved and appreciated.
.
I am showing two of my self-portraits from Shit Show - "Colander Head" and "Tunnock's Tea Tits (after Sarah Lucas)", both 2024. Both are a comment on the absurdity and chaos of early motherhood.
I'm thrilled to be part of this forthcoming exhibition celebrating Black History Month, hosted by Beatport at Farsight Gallery, London. The exhibition pays tribute to the cultural legacy of four groundbreaking electronic music genres of Black origin: House, Techno, Jungle, and UK Garage.
As one of the featured photographers, alongside legends Normski, Eddie Otchere and Dave Swindells, I’ll be showing some images that represent the moment when these genres collided to create dubstep.
Join us for the launch event on October 15th, where Josh Caffé, Ama and Mr. Redley will provide insights into their musical journeys. The evening will close with a DJ set by Ama.
My contribution to Turf Project's Eye Level programme included a Drumz of the South slideshow and audio description, voiced by Breezy Lee and produced by Jay Strange. I also designed a wall map of connections, inspired by the maps I drew during my peak years documenting the early dubstep scene and its community. Additionally, I led a counter-culture mapping workshop for MOSS, Turf's group of learning disabled artists, and a workshop for Croydon’s Young Archivists.

Read MoreRecently, I entered two of Shutter Hub’s online exhibitions including Working From Home and am proud to have work selected for it. As so many photographers have been stuck at home for weeks now, it’s a particularly well timed subject. The images that I contributed were shot just a few weeks ago, including this one of my poor husband, who’s legacy will forever now be partly related to him lying in bed with his laptop.
