I think sometimes in life you have to pat yourself on the back and take a moment! Honestly this is one of those times for me and I have decided to share it.
I started this series when Frida, my daughter, was 6 months old and I was struggling with postpartum health stuff. I stole every second of time I could to make them whilst she was sleeping. 8 months later and it has been so emotional and such a privilege to show them in Forage with @louisehildrethart at the inspiring space the folks at @therectoryprojects have made.
I don’t normally feel so attached to a series of work but got all the feels about putting these guys out into the world :) these are five of twenty. See my thread for more of an explanation.
There’s a closing party next Saturday, sadly I won’t be there but do go along if you have time. It really is a special place. 🌱🌱🌱🌱 #painting #postpartum #artistledspace #therectoryproject #louisehildreth #sophiemason

Forage with @louisehildrethart on for a week at The Rectory Project by appointment only. Contact @therectoryprojects for info on when to come.
Thanks to everyone who came out in the pouring rain to see us last night and a huge thank you to all the gang organising the spaces. It was an amazing night! #forage #exhibition #artistledspace #london #spain

5 of the 20 paintings I will be exhibiting at @therectoryprojects with @louisehildrethart next Saturday, 6th October.
Each painting is part of a larger piece of canvas , which used as a piece of cloth underwent a series of processes within nature over many months.
For example, the second image was made in Barcelona.
It was:
Dyed with rosemary,
Buried in sand,
Washed in the sea,
Sun, rain and wind weathered,
Laid to dry on a lavender bush,
Rubbed with sage,
Smoked with fire,
Marked with coal and ash,
Scrubbed with soil,
Wrapped around St. John’s wort,
Buried under stones.
After this process I cut up the fabric into a series of smaller pieces and attach them to stretcher bars. I then try to dialogue with the residual marks through painting.
Come and see the show if you’re interested! If you can’t make Saturday it’s on for a week by appointment only. #painting #art

Got a new show opening on the 6th October in London. Exhibiting with the wonderful @louisehildrethart at the @therectoryprojects in Poplar. Come along and see!
At 4pm we will have @hedgeherbs running one of her infamous herbal workshops. And later I hear whispers of flute and harp music. :) Excited!!!! If you can’t make opening night it’s on for a week by appointment only. #rectoryprojects #art #forage
