PLATFORM Mixed Media Art Show

Over the past 2 weeks, I have had the pleasure of being involved in the great Mixed Media Art Show *PLATFORM* . I really enjoyed the experience as I had not previously exhibited my work in any kind of gallery space.

It ran down in the Fishing Quarter Gallery, Brighton, from the 8th-19th September. PLATFORM was the brainchild of fellow crafty person and talented jewellery designer Sarah 'Rock Cake' Meredith http://www.rockcakes.com/blog/ . She did a fantastic job of curating the show and it was a great success!

Along with myself & the Little Things i Make were the well known photographer & author (and hubby of Sarah) Kevin 'LomoKev' Meredith http://lomokev.com/.
Liw Banks http://www.etsy.com/people/liwbanks with her wonderful screen prints & rainbow owls and finally (Piers) Evershed Art http://creativeleviathan.com/home.html whose high impact paintings attracted a lot of attention.

PLATFORM subconsciously took on a very strong RAINBOW theme. I think the seed was sown when Rock Cake gocco printed the Private View invitations in a rainbow of colours.

The PLATFORM Private View went really well!!! We had lots of fun (wine & crisps helped), lots of interested guests who turned into great contacts :)
