The gallery is situated above our record collection and below our book shelves and is run by me,  <a href="http://www.gudrunfilipska.com/">Gudrun Filipska</a> and my daughter Sigi. We specialise in showing diminutive and site specific works and curate a running programme of tiny exhibitions. The shelf gallery was started as part of my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/residencyinmotherhood/">Artists residency in motherhood</a> in 2016.</p> <p>The concept of the Shelf Gallery makes a statement about the difficulty in obtaining and affording a ‘traditional gallery space’ as well as raising issues around the tensions between domestic and ‘professional’ spaces and the implicit assumption within the industry that these spheres remain separate.</p> <p>It addresses the difficulties in conducting an artistic or curatorial practice within a domestic space and the challenge artists/gallery owners who are parents also face.</p> <p>We believe we are the smallest open by appointment gallery in the world.</p> <p>The Shelf Gallery will open in time for the first world wide <a href="http://www.wasbiennale.com/about/" target="_blank">Apartments and Studios Biennial</a>.

My work has at its root a concern with transience, particularly walking, and I make visual and auditory works primarily responding to industrial landscape and the territories which surround my home in East Anglia.
