Thank you @alisonberry28 @cdlewisstudio for the monochrome project #withnomoresoundthanthemicemake it got me started on something fun and rewarding at the same time. Covering colour with layers, clouds and veils of sepia, black and white has got me thinking!!  Here is a new piece completed after @unprimed_collective show at #safehouse1

“No more sound than mice make @unprimed_collective this weekend at Safehouse Peckham was a delight to work on with so many dear artist friends bought together through @turpsbanana correspondence course. It’s our fifth show together and this time the memory of @hermione.carline drove us to a new level of engagement and support. I think it’s our best show yet.” Sarah Praill
