- 'Kettle's Yard House Bulletin: Issue 1 - PublicationBack in March, I enjoyed some university-approved snooping thanks to Kettle’s Yard and Inga Fraser, Senior Curator of the House & Collection. Whilst the Kettle’s Yard house was temporarily closed for the installation of new heating and cooling systems, we visited various university sites that house works from the wider collection and photographed them in these surroundings - inspired by Louise Lawler, one of the pivotal members of The Pictures Generation. During these visits we were greete
- 'With Edges Like Glass - Sid White-Jones’, Cambridge Artworks - ExhibitionMy latest exhibition ‘With Edges Like Glass’ took place this winter at Cambridge Artworks, running from November 15th to 17th, 2024. All the works in this exhibition were created during October and November 2024 as part of the start of my current residency with AA2A at Anglia Ruskin University.

When I begin the residency in October I’ll be working on some projects that I’ve in mind for a while now, but have been unable to make happen without access to certain facilities. Like the ones I will now have available at Anglia Ruskin. Initially, I’ll be taking my recent experimentations with
- 'Fabricating Narratives: The Potential of Found Photography', Prickwillow ArtSpace - WorkshopFound photographs have always been hugely exciting to me for their unknown origins. As they have no identifiable authors, a viewer is forced to invent ones for themselves. I had often thought that this would make an exciting concept for a workshop and thanks to Babylon ARTS in Ely, I was recently given the opportunity to turn it into one. I recently delivered a session at Prickwillow ArtSpace on imagined narratives to the members of this year’s Babylon Young Curators and Associates programme.
