An Heart 2020 at no format gallery with Jane Davies
Exerpt from press release
‘In this exhibition, Jane Davies and Joe Moss attempt to situate their craft-based practises alongside recent technological advancements. Their prominent relationship to decorative art practises will be juxtaposed against wall hangings, sustainably 3D-printed sculptures of the heart, and a grid based curatorial platform.
The grid-system is designed to exhibit the work whilst paying homage to the industrial histories of decorative-arts and envisage their non-hierarchical future together with digital and fine-art practises. The curatorial structure pays homage to artisanal labour and associated scaffolding, CAD softwares, and the 3D-printing bed.’

The Midas Touch, 2019 (2:52)
A short test video referencing opera in the Baroque style
attempting to tell a celebrity story that parallels an ancient
myth. Using a Baroque opera format to tell these stories is
significant due to the history of the method of acting in this
period. The method of acting included specific hand
gestures formalised by John Bulwer in Chirologia, (1644).
These hand signs can be traced back to the gestures in
iconography during the Medieval and Renaissance periods,
and their origin can be traced back to classical orators like
Cicero during the ancient Greek and Roman civilisations.
