Burton flyer
as the leaves start to turn and another season starts to sing, k148 took her flowers up north, to burton agnes, a beautiful statly home and gardens nestled on the holderness plains.

filling the bottom deck of a red london bus, this unique exhibition space held flowers from the local area, splashes of tropical colour from her trip earlier this year to trinidad alongside monochrome images printed at the neat studios.

for the first time time the full range k148 cards wereon sale and snapped up by visitors making the most of the late autumnal sun, keep your eyes peeled for a chance to browse the online catalogue.

A new exhibition opened on Saturday! Fellow occupants of the artist’s studios hidden away in the depths of the creative hub that is ‘The Island’ (home of the infamous Carnyville) have got together for a group show, inviting the public to come and see our collective work for the first time.

The exhibition will feature the work of over 20 artists and will be held in the same gallery space as our recent Still Alive exhibition. We’re taking part exhibiting some of our recent works and taking the opportunity to get to know everyone a bit better! It’s on everyday from 12am – 7pm, finishing this Saturday – so come and have a look about!

Expect to see a wide and diverse range of exciting work presented through a variety of disciplines from painting, drawing and photography to sculpture, textiles and printmaking.
