One Moon Many Faces can be seen as part of the touring exhibition below:
Radical Craft: Alternative Ways of Making
12 March - 12 June 2016, Pallant House Gallery
Featuring the work of 34 British and international artists who express their creativity unbounded by taught conventions, Outside In's fourth triennial open exhibition - in collaboration with Craftspace - features work by renowned historical and contemporary artists associated with the field of outsider art, alongside work from Outside In artists selected from submissions to an open call out.

Themes in the exhibition include radical missions in which artists have a passion for a particular subject or technique; intuitive responses to the natural or urban environment; and folkloric or surreal perceptions of the world. The world in the exhibition has been developed with independence, and an often obvious lack of inhibition.

The show encompasses work by artists from Europe, America and Asia, including Judith Scott (USA), Nek Chand (India), and Roland Kappel (Germany), alongside UK pieces such as Michael Smith's altered donated jeans, bound and wrapped with masking tape; Nnena Kalu's large evolving cocoon-like forms of paper, fabric and foam bound and wrapped with tape, yarn and cling film; and Beth Hopkins' re-employed found objects.

During my Artist-in-Residence at Batley Art Gallery, West Yorks, Uk. Autum 2009 I was filmed talking about the the art work I was producing for that specific Aerist-in-Residence project.

... I love vast stretches of sea and sky, I feel I am on the edge of something, an anticipation hangs between, betwixt sea and sky...   
 ...good to be back after mysteriously being locked out of my own blog... I have been reflecting upon themes and techniques which have been at my core prior to and at the outset of art college adventures, which reduce down to organic form, traditional  techniques and exploring processes. New work embraces re-examining northern textile industrial heritage set within the Pennine regions of Yorkshire and Lancashire .  Within this, is how the changing face of industry has impaired our familiar visual reference. MY response is to pay homage to L.S. Lowry's imagined Lancashire urban landscapes- which are inherent  with my own Lancashire heritage , and create my own re-imagined urban and rural landscape.  Fine art print and textile techniques such as hand felted fleece, new and vintage cloths are layered with textile techniques and process using stitch to draw together a commonality within textile narratives.
