Feature in Courrier Picard newspaper

Thank you to Courrier Picard for highlighting my work and featuring ‘In/Visible: The Changing State of Womanhood’ at Galerie de l’Est in their weekly arts and culture.

In/Visible: The Changing Shape of Womanhood

I’m delighted to be included in ‘In/Visible: The Changing State of Womanhood’, a group show curated by Alisa Lisovskaia at Galerie de l’Est in Compiègne, France. The show is open from 18th January until 15th February 2025. More about the show below.

“This exhibition invites views to engage deeply with women’s intricate relationships with their bodies, exploring how personal experiences intersect with broader cultural narratives that shape perceptions of femininity, beauty, and identity. By featuring female artists and their intimate reflections, the exhibition highlights diverse perspectives on body images, touching on transformations, vulnerability, and resilience. Divided into four thematic sections, it examines ageing and memory, self-perception, social influences on body images and using the body as a creative medium.”

I’m excited to share that art’otel London Hoxton commissioned me to make a Christmas tree inspired by my ‘Fruiting_Bodies’ series. The tree was available to view over the 2024 Christmas period.

Feature in the Financial Times

Thank you to Melanie Gerlis for featuring my piece ‘fruit-in-my-body’ in the Financial Times Weekend on 24th October 2024 in her art market column. This installation was exhibited at the Women In Art Fair with SLQS Gallery in October 2024. SLQS Gallery is founded by Sarah Le Quang Sang and the gallery will open a permanent space in 2025.

An extract from the article:

Le Quang Sang previewed her gallery programme at this month's Minor Attractions and Women In Art Fair events, with works by Beverley Duckworth and a sound performance by Laima Leyton at the former, and a striking showing of Damaris Athene at WIAF (Athene will get a solo show in the gallery next year, Le Quang Sang confirms.) She will open on Club Row, close to Kate MacGarry, and says "I'm starting a business in the worst of economic times, but the gallery is well-located and compact."
