In the run up to'Young Gunn' at Candid Arts Trust my house is in Chaos, I'm spending hours website building,varnishing and looking for stuff I've mislaid and I'm late sending out my first batch of invitations! So the usual pre solo show panic most artists will identify with! here's an image of a Chinese pleasure boat back in the 19th century - the kind of thing that I find moving in a way I can't quite understand....I could do with a few days lounging on a sampan right now...

Odyssey: Explorations a multi media artwork which Fion has created for Liverpool’s Royal Albert Dock will be showcased on 23 August with the support of Tate Liverpool and Open Eye Gallery, Liverpool.

Fion who became an associate of Tate Exchange Liverpool early this year was awarded a grant for a project Odyssey: Explorations, hosted there, by Arts Council England. The project encompasses the creation of a multimedia artwork to animate the Royal Albert Dock along with community and public workshops which took place during her residency at Tate Exchange Liverpool. the partners included National Maritime Museum, FACT (Foundation for Art and Creative Technology), Liverpool Irish Centre and Pagoda Arts Centre and Sunnyhill Children’s Centre (Lambeth).

I would like to pay tribute to the expert training and support I have received for my VR/AR work from artist Sean Rodrigo.
