I regularly return to a series of drawings titled MOTION, which I started in 2001 and where a form emerges from repeating body movements. Like the whirling Dervishes principle, repeating a move endlessly leads to a single point of focus.

My work, 'SENTINEL XIX detail 2', is included in 'By the Means at Hand', Vlatka Horvat's project for the Croatian Pavilion at the 60th Venice Biennale.

THE OPEN DOOR is a collaborative exhibition and site-specific installation by the artists Aude Hérail Jäger and Tisna Westerhof. Both artists live and work in London. At the beginning of the pandemic in early 2020 they started online conversations about their work - reaching out to each other from their house confinement. Their dialogue has evolved naturally into THE OPEN DOOR.

THE OPEN DOOR exhibition will show past and recent work by the two artists in a range of media including sculpture, installation, needlework, textiles, ceramics, painting, objects and drawing. The exhibition will transform the interior of Lieu d’Art Contemporain (L.A.C.) with artworks on the ground or hanging from washing lines throughout the 750m2 lower floor.

Curator: Aude Hérail Jäger

111 Not Out celebrates the 110th anniversary of The London Group’s inaugural exhibition at London’s Goupil Gallery in March 1914. Each of the 48 participating members has commended one of the 32 founders that most appeals to them in terms of personality and art practice.

I have chosen Ethel Sands for the playfulness of the domestic environment in her paintings. My work Alphabet Cubes – OUI NON is scaled for home and emulates the bottles, jars and things that Sands represents on shelves - offering a focus point for reverie and the imagination.

‘Drawing-Book 62, p. 15 SENTINEL XIV Preparatory Drawing’ and ‘Drawing-Book 62, p. 18

Preparatory Drawing’ precede respectively the over life-size figure drawing of SENTINEL XIV and a new SENTINEL in progress - from my ongoing SENTINELS series.

Each preparatory figure is itself the sum of small drawings made in museums, mostly from objects in archaeological and ethnological collections.

The female warrior creatures are armed and ready for fighting. SENTINEL XIV weapons are unfamiliar but no less deadly. The new SENTINEL’s weapons are a potion held in a container that sees the enemy and a specific hand gesture that will paralyse an aggressor.

RIGHT: 'Alphabet Cubes- FREED' - 2022 – wood, acrylic paint – 200cm x 40cm x 40cm

My 'old' work is the narrow and tall steel sculpture ‘Le Confinement’. The work stands from the ground up. A ball of black peppercorns is held within the cage-like structure. We do not know what is inside the ball, and the space above it remains useless as gravity keeps the ball at the bottom.

The 'new' work is the narrow and tall wooden sculpture “Alphabet Cubes – FREED’ that stands from the ground up, too. Like 'Le Confinement' this work refers back to entrapment as it is made of five boxes, sealed closed. On the outside surface, however, we see letters painted on the surface, spreading out messages of hope and potency. These can be acquired with effort, like learning to read.

“ [..] The more I am writing about my working process, the more I recognise its complexity. Part of making work is akin to an act of faith: despite not fully knowing each single step leading to a finished piece, a certainty underpins the momentum and leads forward.”

Extract from the article I have written for ‘A Question of Process’, London Group Newsletter, March 2022.

My talk about Sentinel XX illustrates the development from drawing ancient art objects in a small sketchbook into drawing from it a very large figure on tissue paper. It also features other artists who represent large figures such as Andrea del Castagno, Barbara Walker and Guo Fengyi.

Sumi Perera had curated the original online exhibition 'Wish You/We Were Here/There - The Power of the Postcard' during lockdown. A few months later, co-contributor Carol Wyss took the physical work of the online exhibition to Lichtenstein where she presented it concurrently to her own show at the Küefer Martis Huus.

“Waterloo Festival 2021 celebrates the 70th Anniversary of the Festival of Britain, (for which the Royal Festival Hall was built and St John’s rebuilt), capturing its post-war spirit of hope and creativity as we strive for a more egalitarian and sustainable post-pandemic future” (www.waterloofestival.com). The Festival’s overall theme this year is ‘Respair’ (the return of hope).

Eighteen London Group members and thirteen Friends are exhibiting in St John’s Churchyard work that loosely fits the discipline of sculpture, installation and performance and respond to the theme of “Britain‘21 – Coming up for Air” in acknowledgement of the circumstances that we all find ourselves in, artists and public alike.

During lockdown the London Group Newsletter’s editor invited artists members to write about the theme of 'Collections’ for the Spring 2021 Newsletter.

I chose to revisit the work titled ‘Matchsticks – Bandaged’ that I made in the early 1990s and to complete it with the new text 'Mother and the Matchsticks' (see below the image).

The Christian Century - Thinking Critically, Living Faithfully is a progressive American magazine. Their December 2020 issue (Vol. 137, No.27) dedicated their On Art section to the Sentinels drawings with a moving text by Professor Aaron Rosen.

Sentinel XV is light on her feet, shown in a balanced motion, wrapped in long threads of silk and with stiletto daggers pinned in her head-dress. She transforms at will the textile threads veiling her into nets to catch and then dispatch any person threatening to hurt.

This is an online exhibition of postcard sized art which can be based on where the artists see themselves now that the lockdown is easing, where they have been or want to go. How has the lockdown and the global pandemic changed them? Maybe they are looking forward to visiting more of the UK or escaping into a fantasy land where coronavirus never existed. View 39 works all contemplative of the current climate we live in, through the medium of video stills, sound recordings, sculptures, found objects, photos, prints, drawings, poetry & paintings.

Everyone has a piece of work that for some reason holds a special place in their heart. Maybe it was the one that changed their style or opened up a new aspect or maybe it was created because of something or someone. What is that special work for you?

'No Refuge Even Under the Dining Table' Photograph Week 4

Co-curated by artist S. Billie Mandle and visual arts editor Aaron Rosen, Home Alone Together is an online exhibition of twenty-five artists from around the world—aged twenty to ninety—that explores the shared, bounded environment in which people now live.

Quarantine is quickly redefining and reconfiguring how people experience home. It can be a space of refuge—representing safety from a nebulous, deadly threat, but also something of a pressure cooker. We are all caught up in a strange experiment of an uncertain duration, and even those fortunate enough to escape direct loss and trauma are forced to reckon with new realities—economic, emotional, spiritual—from the (dis)comfort of their own homes. In this unsettled moment, artists can help draw our experiences into focus.

Every week for the next three months, participating artists will contribute one photograph from a different room of his or her home. Together, these photographs—whether taken in a kitchen or bedroom, the world outside the window, or even the virtual space of technology—will articulate a new, collective picture of home.

We hope this project will create an opportunity to locate something of that quality Gaston Bachelard called “intimate immensity.” What we see has become limited, but not how we see. When the pandemic subsides and we re-enter the world, perhaps our way of seeing will have changed along with us. Maybe we will be more prepared to encounter transcendence, even—perhaps especially—in the mundane.

'Sentinel XII - preparatory drawing (Drawing-book 51, p.99)' Graphite on moleskine paper, 20.8cm x 12.8cm. Sentinel XII's weapons are her flutes that play mysterious tunes and spirit away malevolence. Final large drawing on show in digital exhibition Isolation (see below).

The Lockdown Chronicles is a series of artist interviews carried out during the Covid-19 lockdown to artists around the world who have collaborated with hARTslane in the past 8 years. We believe that in times like these, it is important to reach out, connect and share common personal experiences, concerns and struggles, beliefs as well as practical or inspirational hidden gems. We hope that these artist stories will inspire other fellow artists as well reassure those who might feel alone or isolated or too overwhelmed to create.

'Sentinel XII' Graphite on Awagami Kozo paper, 229cm x 97cm. Sentinel XII's weapons are her flutes that play mysterious tunes and spirit away malevolence. Preparatory drawing on show in The Lockdown Chronicles at hARTslane (see above).

Isolation and solitude are words that most visual artists will relate to, they work alone in a studio, a shed or at home so the prospect of enforced isolation may seem like the perfect time to make art. At the moment things are different though! It's not just isolation or social distancing, the entire fabric of society has been ripped apart before our eyes. The exhibition shows how The London Group artists are reacting to the current social and world climate.

A four day experimental show in a blacked out Cello Factory with talks and performance curated by The London Group. The one stipulation is that the artworks either generate their own light or can be projected onto. This means all the works interlink and the whole group exhibition becomes a foreboding installation filling all surfaces of this unique space.
