Playing Out, at Threshold
Threshold presents Playing Out, a solo exhibition of new work by me, and co-curated by Julia McKinlay and Jonathan OrlekExhibition open daily 18th May - 15th June 2025
📍Argie Terrace, Leeds, LS4 2JW
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.

Just for Fun Launch
Brand new collaborative project!Join in here...
I’m super excited to share my new collaborative project for 2025!

This project recently came about during my yearly calendar design time. Throughout the year I constantly recieve messages and photos from friends and followers of things they see that they know I'd love and share an interest in. I love it. Its a beautiful reminder that I need to keep doing what I'm doing. This year, I wanted to encourage it even more by setting monthly missions or briefs for people to look out for and respond to each month.
I've decided to open it up for anyone to join in. When I say anyone, I mean anyone, you don't need to be a photographer or an artist to have an eye for your area.
Each month I'll send you an email with a new photo to spot and share with me. You can use your phone (like me) or any kinda' camera, and theres absolutely no pressure to join in if you don't fancy it, its simply just a way for you to engage with your surrounding in a new way.
its simply Just for Fun.
Each month I'll share all the submissions from the last month (heres hoping) for you all to enjoy.

GATHERING*
Headrow House Event SpaceSaturday 28th September 12pm-6pm
*a group photography show by Miniclick mentoring group

After a year-long programme of group learning, sharing and encouraging, we’re excited to have the opportunity to come together and celebrate the supportive space we’ve created.
‘Gathering’ features our work as this year's cohort of photographers, each showcasing either new or in-progress projects. Come down and chat with us to hear more about our photography and our experience as a peer mentoring group.
We’ll be hosting an informal meet the artists hour, between 2pm-3pm as part of the show.
Thank you to Roz Doherty for facilitating this group and bringing us all together each month. Over the last year, we’ve been incredibly fortunate to have time with Photo Hub North, Lens Lab Project, Leeds Mind, and curator Angela Sheard. This dedicated time and playfulness have been essential to our creativity and relationships with our photography practices.
Come down and see what we’ve been up to!
Thanks,
Anna, Bianca, Catherine, Georgia, Hannah and Hebe x
