Gorgeous day on Bristol harbourside. The Balmoral had an open day, we ate chips, looked round the Underfall Yard, & saw lots of sausage dogs. 🌞

I enjoyed listening to Richard Billingham @no1royalcrescent.bsky.social this evening. 'Sensation', the 90s exhibition that featured photos of his parents, remains my favourite & most influential exhibition ever. YBAs forever! #BeingThere #BathArt

Join us in Bath for a talk with YBA photographer Richard Billingham. He's probably best known for photographing his parents (remember the flying cat?!). no1royalcrescent.org.uk/events/a-tal... #photography #bathart #ThenAndNow @no1royalcrescent.bsky.social 📷

The lady's bedroom @no1royalcrescent.bsky.social is sparkling after a deep clean. I especially enjoyed taking a closer look at things I hadn't noticed before- in particular the painted lady with real human hair!

Hew Locke's 'Ruined' in Brunswick Cemetery Gardens, St. Paul's, Bristol. A series of cast iron grave markers for local businesses that no longer exist. Really looking forward to seeing his exhibition at the British Museum this week. I love his work. #HewLocke #BristolArt

A short thread 🧵🍏🌳 Tomorrow is Twelfth Night, traditionally a night for apple wassailing (along with Old Twelvey on the 17th Jan). English West Country communities get together to awaken the apple trees. They bless the trees to ensure a good harvest and ward off any evil spirits.

The Little Mermaid at Bristol Old Vic is brilliant. Joyful, creative, diverse, and it has a strong and important message. Inky Slick was the star of the show for me. 🧜‍♀️
