After visiting Permindar in her studio space I’m really excited in anticipation of her forthcoming exhibition next year!
Most of the work that Permindar is currently producing in the studio features faceless black teddies. As seen in this previous post, teddies have featured in Permindar’s previous work in various other forms, camouflaged against a backdrop of similar fabric. Teddies appeal to Permindar as they are “half animal, half human” and allow her to critically consider human nature. Permindar spoke to me and Professor Karen Pine (UH Department of Psychology), about the meaning of the teddies in her current work.

Digswell Arts Alumni Ella Carty – Shares news of her new studio in Cornwall. Open Studio Event on December 4th – 6th!
I am delighted to have been offered a new studio space at Krowji in Cornwall. Krowji is Cornish for ‘workshop’ and is an exciting Art Space in Redruth that provides studios for a wide range of practising artist, crafts people and others working in the arts sector. It is the largest artist hub in Cornwall and has recently added a new eco building to its premises.
The Percy Williams Building has been designed and built to sit alongside the existing premises of the Old Grammar School so that it now offers over 100 studio spaces to artists. I am very excited to be moving into my new studio at the beginning of December.
I shall be taking part in Open Studios here on the 4th – 6th December. More details will follow soon!
