Somme 100
1.7.16
A triptych I made on a visit to the Somme in 1995, on a Brighton Uni exchange to the Art School in Amiens, France.
A shell hole, my grandfather, a trench.
'Redefining Juliet' Portraits at the Barbican
3.5.16
Incredible day at the Barbican photographing the five Juliets in Storme Toolis's stunning creation 'Redefining Juliet'.
Amazing to be asked to make portraits of these 5 Juliets with disabilities and differences, not fitting the popular mould. Here is Lara, who is deaf and performed entirely with sign language. Beauty and power on stage, I've never seen... Here signing 'Romeo, Romeo'.
Thank you Storme!
Conference in Kings Lynn
15.4.16
Again, today I was speaking to around 200 people in Kings Lynn. Understanding Stanley really does speak to people and move them. Sold 40 books and had a queue of people wanting to talk to me about how much they could relate to it and how it had given them a deeper meaning and understanding of autism. So, so thrilled.
Science Museum
9.2.16
So great to be invited to speak at the Science Museum. Delegates from all across the UK coming together to find out how to better welcome and support their visitors who are on the autism spectrum. I was particularly keen to put across the point of view of siblings, who often are not considered in the equation and can find their anticipated trip to a museum curtailed at very short notice! I was approached afterwards to come and speak directly with other museums. Very satisfying. Love this image of my boys together. Says a lot.
