Friends that Leave – Fox Art Competition 2023
We are excited to show our submission for the FOX ART competition. We weren’t selected for the exhibition – but we love the piece anyway.
This piece is called Friends That Leave – a collage/mixed media/painting/performance piece involving collaged elements glued to a canvas, and then being forcibly removed.
Inspired by Guernsey and it’s population management policies – and the inevitability of losing friends as life moves and changes.

As part of the Skipton Art Festival the wall of art exhibition, each contributing artist was encouraged to enter a piece of work on the theme of Island life. Each piece was presented as an uncurated “Wall of Art” in the inner street of the market buildings for the whole of August.
This peice was created from indvidually cut butterflies, hearts and flowers. Which are made from the leftover paper from vehicle insurance disc paperwork. Each was collected by Athene and stored ready to be recycled.
