Deep Looking, The Art Fund Gallery, The Lightbox

A Three woman show featuring a painter, a photographer and a printmaker

Deep Looking, with Dawn Langley, Janet McWilliam and me, was our first joint exhibition: a roller coaster ride which was nerve wracking, a lot of fun and from which we learned about working together and about how well our very different practices come together to produce a cohesive show.

Our practices and outcomes are very different but the hang went very smoothly and the works all sat comfortably in the space and with each other.

We are so delighted with the responses from visitors to our first joint venture that we talking about another exhibiting adventure. Hooray!

Visitors to our Meet the Artists session

It has been a pleasure to put our work out into the world and to spend time with it in a lovely gallery and with each other. Connections, hitherto unseen, have sparked conversations and hold the kernels of future work.

Consuelo Simpson is an artist and maker living and working in Hampshire. Her multidisciplinary practice is focused on seeking moments of enchantment and on reaching an accommodation with the world.

She remains obsessed with string!
