Picture This
I invited 6 artists to join me in a group exhbition at the Penwith Gallery, St Ives, Cornwall, for around 6 weeks from December 2016 - January 2017.
The group was Sovay Berriman / Annie Bungeroth / Alison Corder / Janet McEwan / Caroline Pedler / Emma Saffy Wilson / Gillian Wylde.
Our loose theme was summed up a brief statement:
"Bringing together seven Cornwall-based artists working with found material across various artforms, this group exhibition, in the Penwith Gallery studio space, offers a sideways look at the multi-layered landscape we negotiate on a daily basis."
For PIcture This I worked with found photographs and offcuts of slate.

All I want is a room with a view
A sight worth seeing, a vision of you
All I want is a room with view, oh-oh
I will give you my finest hour
The one I spent watching you shower
I will give you my finest hour, oh yeah
All I want is a photo in my wallet
A small remembrance of something more solid
All I want is a picture of you
Picture this, a day in December
Picture this, freezing cold weather
You got clouds on your lids and you'd be on the skids
If it weren't for your job at the garage
If you could only oh-oh
Picture this, a sky full of thunder
Picture this, my telephone number
One and one is what I'm telling you, oh yeah
All I want is 20-20 vision
A total portrait with no omissions
All I want is a vision of you, oh-oh
If you can picture this, a day in December
Picture this, freezing cold weather
You got clouds on your lids and you'd be on the skids
If it weren't for your job at the garage
If you could only oh-oh
Picture this, a sky full of thunder
Picture this, my telephone number
One and one is what I'm telling you
Get a pocket computer
Try to do what you used to do yeah
