So go on, make that special little trip down to the Treatment Rooms HQ, formally known as the Black Sheep Curiosity Shop and bag yourself a bargin...photos to follow, but remember there is always new stuff arriving...Gaye Black is due to bring stuff in this week.....

Introducing Super Vag......my activist alter ego......
Submitted by carrie on Thu, 08/25/2011 - 18:57Today there is a rather interesting article in the Evening Standard - 'The naming of parts; a new frankness about vaginas...by the respected writer Liz Hoggard. Liz interviewed me for the article and I did provide a few pics...but unfortunately they were deemed a little too much for the Standard...notice there isn't a vulva in focus in the actual piece. But hey - full marks for getting a piece about the undeniable rise of the vagina in popular culture into the mainstream. Way to go sistah!!..And remember there is still time to sew your own vagina and add it to the now legendary Shoreditch Sisters WI vag quilt (Tracey Emin eat your heart out and make way for the Craftivists).
Anyway, I thought now would be a good time to reveal my new activist alter ego - Super Vag, as photographed by the very talented Neelum Bassrall. Read the full article at This Is London
Dada - The Trojan Horse is vandalised and found a new home....
Submitted by carrie on Wed, 08/24/2011 - 22:58Unbelievably, my horse was vandalised within hours of it hitting the streets of Cheltenham...and there was I thinking this was a posh town. Three horses were attacked, so I am not taking it personally.
Anyway, after being repaired by myself and Nick Reynolds it was decided that it would be better to have the sculpture indoors.

They are running workshops, so if you fancy learning some skills in building substainable housing check them out .
Dada - The Trojan Horse...leaves the studio for its new home in Cheltenham....
Submitted by carrie on Wed, 08/24/2011 - 22:05I have been having to work day and night to complete the horse, to that I can go up North on a special ceramica/enamel course - but yes it is finished and I am mighty proud of this piece.
Not sure what Cheltenham Festival will make though....as there is some pretty hard hitting facts and pictures about the abuse that the horse has had to endure at the hands of man.

Submitted by carrie on Tue, 05/17/2011 - 12:53Right Royal Mug
Submitted by carrie on Thu, 03/24/2011 - 00:14Ceramic production of Royal Wedding Memorabilia is feverishly underway as the World supposedly goes ‘Kate-n-Will’ Crazy.
So I thought I would produce my very own subversion of the much sought after Royal Collection.
My latest artwork is produced in the UK by ‘Heraldic Pottery’ in Stoke on Trent and has a Limited Edition of only 500. . At a price of only £40 per piece, you’d better get yours before they’re all gone! Each Mug is made from the finest English Bone China and there’s been no expense spared producing the UK’s Underground Version of the stuffy Royal approved collection. A true ‘Anarchy Heirloom’ to be passed down from generation to generation! In addition, £5 from the sale of every ‘mug’ is being donated to fund frontline video activists ‘Reel News’. These priceless artworks arrive to your door in their very own signed and numbered certificate.

Solo show at Ink_d - Brighton...
Submitted by carrie on Tue, 03/01/2011 - 02:17Yes, finally I have my first solo show...
"Mad in England...."
As we build up towards the media mania of The Royal Wedding, I have has decided I just can’t take it anymore – Mad in England represents the Great British Empire as ‘Cruel Britannia’ through my unique anarchic vision. Subverting many of the British Establishment icons; Union Jacks, Royalty and Quaint English Tea Sets and customs, I set out to smash the system but in rather genteel way……
As always, my work will be some of the most radical, politically charged (and really quite weird) ceramic and mosaic work you are ever likely to see in the UK.
Private view is on March 10th at Ink_d Gallery...From 6pm – 8.30pm
96 North Road, Brighton BN1 1YE
Please RSVP
