i found connections in your work that relates to my own - i have used the identities/experiences of myself and of women from around the world to inspire me. Your work reached out to me and spoke volumes.

your work and your exploration of identity comes from a place that's deepset inside all of us, but most of us take our sense of identity for granted, or aren't challenged like you have been...your experience of being forced to establish and maintain your identity within a desperate system has informed your sensitive work with an edge and a beauty that comes only from being tested and shaped by a life-altering challenge...i especially love your b&w photos and the images of paper being pressed and rubbed over the faces on small sculptures, those really reached me...

Hi there
thanks for getting in touch. The only other info I have at the moment is ....

The flat is my own flat so it will mostly be in the hall which is very long, but some other artworks will be sited in other parts of the flat if appropriate. It might end up being a series of shows, depending on the response I get. I will be curating it from the call out for works and from some invited artists. I am hoping to use my networking links to make it have quite a national feel to it as opposed to the 'circle of friends'/ local feel of other flat shows..

I'm afraid it's all going to be done on a shoe string and i can't afford to pay for transport so I am looking for works that are easy to send by post. There's no actual theme but i am looking for works that suit a domestic situation..Also works that work on a domestic scale i.e not large heavy sculptures!!!

Don't know if that helps at all
Best wishes
Janie.

hi Behjat
thanks for the add,
many fine work on your page, I like them.
In some way I find a connection to mine own work even thougt mine are very different to yours, funny :)

I find it brave of you to limit the colour in your work (compared to your earlier paintings). It seems you found a new way of expressing things :)
