As part of the Bristol Harbour Festival, join us for a special behind the scenes tour of Spike Island where two artists will open their studio doors to the public. This is a chance to; explore the building’s unique architectural features and gain a glimpse into its previous life as a Brooke Bond tea-packing factory and meet some of the artists based at Spike Island, learn about their practice and see works in progress.
On this visit, meet artists Vivienne Baker and Florrie James. Baker is a painter whose work exists between figurative representation and experimental abstraction, steeped in themes of the ephemerality of nature and the entanglement of forms. James is a filmmaker creating short films on 16mm, using improvisation and collaboration to allow real life situations to inform her stories.
