Everyday Rituals: work in progress on the studio shelf
Everyday Rituals: Residency & Exhibition at Emerald Frames
Join me, Ali Mackie and a group of five exceptional artists and makers for Everyday Rituals, a featured exhibition hosted at Emerald Frames in Chalfont St Peter. My collection contribution introduces four distinct fine-feathered subjects—Florence, Flo, Frances, and Flora—built upon the narrative lineage of The Tender Future.
Rooted in rhythm and repetition, each piece began with vibrant paprika reds, ochres, and gelli-plate prints of garden finds like sun-scorched lawn grasses and Mexican Orange Blossom. Over a ten-day ritual, layers of sky blue, coral pink, and hand-drawn marks were carved out by a deep forest green—a color recorded in Ali's palette study as Grandma's Green, inspired by her vintage Apilco Bistro tea set. These expressive panels are designed to offer a quiet moment of pause alongside your own daily rituals.
