So many of us are turning to reading in these days of social isolation. This afternoon I’m throughly enjoying my fathers new monograph - John Hitchens Aspects of Landscape. It’s a veritable tome of sensory delights: beautiful images and stimulating text ISBN is 978-1-911408-50-5

Delighted our first online exhibition - #JohnHitchens: Aspects of Landscape - goes live today! Check out #photographs of the artwork, download the exhibition guide and see #drawings from the artist’s #sketchbooks: southamptoncityartgallery.com/whats-on/john-… #cultureinquarantine #Southampton

Great to see the exhibition #wildernessforthemind named as one of the top five online exhibitions to view in June by @londonartcritic fadmagazine.com/2020/06/14/the… The exhibition can be viewed at wildernessart.org/wilderness-for… And a delight to see my work ‘More Than Human #4’ presented.

It’s always valuable thinking about my practice and putting it into words, what is essentially a visual medium. Thanks to RWA Bristol for the opportunity to do just that.

It's here!! The PLACE Collective - People Land Art Culture Ecology - bringing creative practitioners into discussions & research at @CNPPA_UoC. So exciting to welcome the first artists & share the website: theplacecollective.org Watch this space for news!

Bravo @ATTheBusUK for your vision and commitment

Join me in supporting the brilliant Art UK at their charity auction before it closes on 30th Sept. I am thrilled that my drawing Deconstructing Wholeness 20 is included alongside works by an amazing group of artists: theauctioncollective.com/viewing-rooms/… Democratising art across the UK

I’m thrilled to receive news that The Planning Inspectorate has granted permission for Ascendant: The Elizabeth Landmark. I want to thank the entire team who have worked passionately, professionally and collectively to help bring this wonderful decision to be. #elizabethlandmark

I am delighted to see my sculpture PHYSIS exhibited at Science and Industry Museum This participatory sculpture, commissioned by @pfizeruk references a parasitic lung cancer tumour. The audience removes pieces of the root-like tentacles, making the cancer go into remission. #cancer #hope

Beyond Body - my forthcoming solo show at Black Swan Arts opens Saturday 30th April. This exhibition sets out to test the boundaries of what it is to be human by investigating the porous relationship we share with the non-human world of rock. #artexhibition #sculpture #artcurator

Thanks so much Black Swan Arts and Fiona Campbell for all your enthusiasm and energy helping me get this show ready for the preview on Friday evening 6-8pm - I’m dead happy with the outcome and am looking forward to sharing it with the audience.👌

News on new sculptural work from PLACE Collective artist Simon Hitchens showing in the Royal Society of Sculptors group exhibition in Chichester Cathedral: 'Bearing Witness to Things Unseen'. Exhibition open until Sept 6th. @artdotearth @UtopiaUnexpect The Vallum Gallery Grizedale Sculpture

I’m delighted to see my sculpture Bearing Witness to Things Unseen installed Chichester Cathedral as part of the show #togetherwerise2022 curated by Jacquiline Creswell. A dawn shadow cast from an ancient rock now removed. Open daily until 6 Sept.

Bearing Witness to Things Unseen: a duality of perception exists here as two entirely different phenomena: surface and void, reflection and absorption, presence and absence. Does the sacred context add to or diminish the human experience? Do visit Chichester Cathedral to find out more.

Never seen this angle before - takes a photographer’s to spot it - so much to see and experience.

Nice to be supported by Axis with this older but still relevant work.

I’m delighted to be exhibiting in ’Samhain’, the second chapter in an ongoing series of online exhibitions at AnimaMundi Gallery, responding to the rhythm of the seasons. Casting A Shadow Over The Cambrian captures a brief moment in time. Exhibition continues until 16/12/22.
