Wondering how Skalli is getting on in all this heat? #liverpool #rivermersey #skalli #liverpoolsculptureprize #folklore

Very excited about this!: Artists of the Material Matters Collective will return to Liverpool’s Bridewell Gallery in autumn 2026 with TRANSMISSIONS - the next major collaboration since their critically-acclaimed residency Into the Wyld at the Williamson Art Gallery in 2024. TRANSMISSIONS will be an exploration of correspondences between the animate, inanimate and the metaphysical. Across four interconnected exhibitions, each artist of Material Materials will use the historic fabric of the Bridewell complex to create new and challenging experiential contemporary art environments to invoke dialogue with the spaces and those who inhabit it - past, present and future. TRANSMISSIONS is conceived as an anthology of experimental art in four episodes: 03 Oct - 11 Oct Silvia Battista 16 Oct - 25 Oct John Elcock 30 Oct - 08 Nov Angelo Madonna 13 Nov - 22 Nov Patric Rogers The programme will include gallery tours by Material Matters artists, an exhibition bookshop selling new titles published by the collective, plus signed artists’ editions. A reading area will also be available. At the close of the exhibition a Long Table discussion event with the artists will occur, check out socials for booking details nearer the time. Material Matters is an artists’ collective and co-operative engaged in artistic and curatorial practices exploring the inter-relationship between materiality, aesthetics and performativity under a collaborative praxis the artists call ‘emotional minimalism’.

What a few days it has been. Feeling overwhelmed at the response to Skalli. Thank you for your beautiful messages and pictures. If I have missed any responses I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Truly a magical few days. I hope everyone had a wonderful solstice.

New work underway. #bridewell #transmissions @materialmattersart

While I’m currently flogging myself on a really exciting project that I can’t talk about I’ve released a new little publication. Tryst is an art book that is based on my sculpture of the same name that was part of @materialmattersart exhibition @williamsonart_ Into the Wyld. The book features the Anglo Saxon poem that recalls the account of the Battle of Brunanburh (Bromborough) which likely took place in the fields between Storeton and Brimstage in Wirral and positions it against the 50 mycelium like swords of Tryst. It’s available now from @nettle_wirral in Port Sunlight in our little MATMAT library. #portsunlight #art #artinliverpool #matmat #intothewyld

Walking, talking and decompressing this beltane weekend at Yorkshire sculpture park with @materialmattersart.

Shadow play

Finally some warmer weather has meant I can get outside and find some time to create again. Winter proved to be a difficult time creatively. I suppose that is what winter is for really, to rest, mend and recover. The movement into spring feels like some kind of elixir given the days ahead of us all.
