'Sun Collection'
Exhibiting on the 3rd floor, a collection based on the Sun hieroglyph. Within this exhibition I created some pieces with focus on individual hieroglyphs, as a way of bringing them to the fore, to have a conversation about their function in painted wesekh collars on ancient Egyptian mummy cases, masks and covering, these symbols I have seen used with frequencey with the cases and mummies I have been looking at

Melanie recently joined in a live international discussion, where artists shared how they are trying to be more eco-aware. Melanie discussed the reusing wood off cuts from building projects and recycling of cloth, such as linen and cotton to create painting surfaces.
