The second part of my project is seeking to set my work in new contexts. This involved contacting programmers and curators, especially those engaged with sculpture, to talk about how my one-to-one practice might sit in a museum/gallery context. Producer […]
So, after a long hiatus (I am not the world’s most prolific blogger), an update. I’m currently finalising my notes from the three gatherings of artists, producers, researchers and programmers in Glasgow, Leeds and London. These have been a definite […]
London-based artist Liz Atkin creates work both in response to and as way of coping with compulsive skin picking. Alistair Gentry finds out more about her art practice, and the advocacy and education work she undertakes to help others understand and deal with this and other body-focused repetitive behaviour conditions.
Since the early 1970s, Bobby Baker has been producing art that documents and subverts her experiences of everyday life, drawing on motherhood, domestic labour, and mental illness and recovery. Speaking to Lydia Ashman, Baker reflects on the challenges she faced as a woman and an artist, her successes and why she’s ‘proudest of keeping going’.
Based on conversations with artists, Alistair Gentry reflects on the stigma that still exists around mental health, and discusses some of the coping strategies artists use in their work and careers when affected by mental health problems.
The Bethlem Gallery in Bromley provides a professional platform for artists who have experienced mental health difficulties. Alistair Gentry speaks to the gallery’s director Beth Elliot about the organisation and how it fosters a supportive artist-focussed environment.
Hospital Rooms is an arts and mental health charity that believes in the enduring power of the arts to instill value, dignity and wellbeing in people. Alistair Gentry speaks to Curator Niamh White about how the project enables access to art and culture for people using secure and locked mental health services.
Alistair Gentry offers guidance on what support is available for artists and others with mental health problems.
So it’s September, one of the months that is not so active in the north of England for exhibitions and sales (well not where I’m based). My last show was a success and I’m in the planning stages of the […]

With the end of the Mythomania project upon me (it finishes today). I’ve decided to make this the last official post. I’d hoped to chronicle much more of the project, including the production of the final work – but time […]
It’s less of a blog today and more of a collection of thoughts in relation to some of my recent works. Bursts of colour, bright scattered patterns, abstract shapes, the collision of photography, collage and paint. This connects to that, […]
Despite the slight muddle with the technician not realising how much help I needed the show is almost hung despite getting muddled myself with the numbering in places! Tweaking tomorrow….
I’m a brand new member
Although much of the new work I created for MYTHOMANIA was fabric-based (as described in my previous posts) I also created one of my more familiar large-scale sculptures for the exhibition. The curators had asked me to create a big […]
