Playing Out invites you to look closer at the places you think you already know, and encourages you to connect with your own sense of place and play.

Come and play out with meeeeee! Down at my new show Playing Out, nested amongst some of my favourite streets in Leeds, all thanks to the Burley bunch @thresholdsculpture . I’m honestly feeling so grateful to be apart of this year’s programme, and the opportunity to respond to a setting I know so well, something I’d not realised I needed until now...

My work has always been rooted in place and nostalgia, and Playing Out is a lively continuation of that, expanding familiar ideas of our neighbourhoods, play and everyday encounters into something more sculptural and interactive. I’ve absolutely loved working in this way, and I can’t wait to share it with you all.

Playing Out will be open daily from Sunday 18th May through to Sunday 15th June. No need to make an appointment, the exhibition is outdoors and visible from the street during daylight hours.
