I was commissioned by SHAKE! to come up with an artwork image for their big showcase event in January at Rich Mix London. This was an exciting opportunity for me to be able to produce some work for an amazing collective of people.
The theme was based on SHAKE!'s two previous training courses - 'States of violence' and 'Food fight'. I experimented digitally and with painting plant life, that I then scanned in, to combine these two concepts.
I wish I could have attended the showcase as I know it will have been an electric evening full of inspiring talent but I flew out to Africa mid-January to start my 3 month volunteer team leader placement in Togo! (more stories on this to follow!) I have just returned to the UK - hence the very late blog update!
I found some photos on the SHAKE! facebook page of the artwork as the backdrop for the evening at the Resistance is Fertile event.
