The Hepworth resides in my artistic home of Wakefield, West Yorkshire. I am beyond thrilled to be showing my work there. It’s an amazing gallery that I visit now and then. I studied Fine Art at Bretton Hall in West Bretton, the home of Yorkshire Sculpture Park. It was quieter and smaller then, a privilege to be there, especially in the dark of night (when I lived on campus) or a foreboding autumnal weekend. You could wander the park and not meet another soul, just the wind, wildlife and sculptures for company. But let’s not discuss the time I fell into a patch of nettles with my friend during an off-track stumble through the undergrowth, slightly under the influence of a good night at the KB! I also return there often and daydream of one day exhibiting my work there…

It’s a curated show and well worth travelling to make a full weekend of it with the Hepworth, Yorkshire Sculpture Park and Leeds City Art Gallery all within easy reach. West Yorkshire is immensely rich in arts heritage, you can wander to Wakey Museum or travel further to reach Halifax for the Dean Clough or Holmfirth to the Booth House Gallery which houses the work of acclaimed ceramicist Jim Robison or even the Sculpture Lounge. you are literally spoiled for choice.
