The Unruly Glove, The Green Bum and The Sickly Trickle, was a solo exhibition at Ciaccia Levi Gallery, Paris running May 18th – June 29th , 2018. This was my third solo exhibition at the gallery for which I produced a series of drawings depicting a fantastical and erotically charged world. These drawings were set within stained walnut burr frames and installed in relation to a selection of colourful rabbit skins, which scattered the gallery floor. The skins place the drawings within a fragmented scene, acting as a physical echo to the recurrent, fetishistic materialities displayed within the drawings themselves. Read the press release here
As part of the exhibition I produced a small run publication incorporating my drawings and reactions to them in poem form by Artist and Writer Susan Finlay. Susan Finlay works across various media including painting, fashion-textiles and text. Projects include Objektophilia, a novella serialized in 'Egress Magazine', The Brexit Chronicles, an audio-series for Ackerman Daly, and Isodora, a solo exhibition at MoHA, Austin. Her novel, Our Lady of Everything, was published by Serpent's Tail in Spring 2019.
