A new home for my World Reimagined globe

My World Reimagined globe now has a new home …

Reading University

In the summer of 2024 my World Reimagined globe, together with three others, were purchased by the University of Reading and it now sits permanently outside of the historic Park House building - a social and cultural hub on their Whiteknights campus. They were purchased as part of an educational initiative to remind the community of the enduring legacy of the transatlantic trade, and to inspire reflection on racial justice, resilience, and cultural heritage.

Dr Hannah Lyons, Curator of University Art Collections at the University of Reading, said:

“The University of Reading is proud to host the work of four incredible contemporary artists, who each explore different themes that reflect the legacies of the transatlantic slave trade. From exploring the complexity of Britain’s relationship with Africa, the Americas and the Caribbean, to celebrating the spirit and culture of the African diaspora, each globe takes you on a journey of discovery. It is important to understand our past in order to create a more hopeful vision for the future.”

Varnished and ready to go...

Pig-e the robot pig - Henson pig by Lou Boyce

After several weekends of painting, PIG-e is finished and ready to hit the streets of Gloucester for this year's Henson Pig Trail. He will be spending his summer in King Square. Can't wait to see him out there on his grassy plinth!

Finally have everything prepared and set up for this weekend's art trail.

I'll be displaying, along with 3 other artists, and will be selling limited edition prints, giclee prints, funky Xmas cards and some scaled down versions of my cocktail prints .... also in cards. Our great hosts for the weekend are the lovely Matt and Celilia Cand :) Matt will be spinning some vinyl throughout the day and later on, when it gets dark, he'll be doing some outside photo projections. All this will be happening today and tomorrow from 12 noon to 6 pm.
