Some pics and text from solo exhibition at Mr Kitly Gallery November last year...
A lamp, a rug, a pot, a plant, freedom, flowers, a champagne bottle on the balcony as an ashtray. It's all you need.
"I feel the need to express something, but I don't know what it is I want to express. Or how to express it." Joey

pots seem to be becoming more glamorous, more sophisticated - as though I
am some how imparting traits through my fingers and into their body.
They have taken up smoking, are wearing make-up, and lounging around
interiors all languorous, indulgent and decorative.
Named for the 1978 Woody Allen film of the same title, Interiors is a
celebration of female relationships and the living space that these
play out in.
