Spotlight on: Colour & Forage
Woody was commissioned to bring her Colour In Club to Brighton a few moons ago.
Colour & Forage was a drawn hedgerow that appeared to be growing before your very eyes.
After colouring-in the artwork, people could also pick natural elements like apples and berries.

Spotlight on: Colour in Space from 2015
Let's go back in time, and space, to Brighton in 2015, where people came together and coloured in a 6 metre long graphic by Woody.
Woody’s Colour In Club brought its cosmos of uncluttered graphics and coloured pencils to Jubilee Library in the heart of Brighton.
Humans of all ages sat down together and collaborated on a super-sized artwork to celebrate World Mental Health Day and the launch of City Reads 2015.

10 year anniversary of Mirror Mime
It is the ten year anniversary of Woody's exhibition Mirror Mime at YSP - Art Fund's museum of the year in 2014.
Her drawn illustrations were translated in to a temporary public art installation measuring 5 metres by 25 metres with a subject matter spanning over 200 years old.
Infused with Renaissance imagery and 1920s style, Mirror Mime depicted a beguiling world where historical fact became a reimagined present.
