Artist Feedback Session: Led by Krystle Patel & Liam Jolly

Monthly free workshop to share your creative work in a supportive environment.

Taking place at the end of each month, our free feedback sessions are a chance to get feedback on your work from a practicing artist in a supportive and friendly environment. All kinds of creative work are welcome.

November’s feedback session will be led by artists Krystle Patel and Liam Jolly.

This workshop is open to all but booking is essential, as spaces are limited. There are five slots available for showing work, but all are welcome to join in the discussion. For those showing work, please send through images or links you would like to share to: holly@turf-projects.com by Thursday 11 November 2021.

If you have any access needs that you would like to discuss with us in advance of the session, please get in touch: holly@turf-projects.com

How do our tickets work?

For our workshops & events we offer the majority of tickets free and then offer donations-based tickets after that. Free tickets go fast! We’d encourage you to book a donations-based ticket if you’re able to, to leave as many free tickets as possible available for those who could most benefit from them. Donations tickets can be as little as £1. You can join the session in-person or remotely – just let us know how you will attend when you sign up.

About Krystle Patel:

Krystle works across sculpture, painting, textile and sound to create installations and moving image works that investigate the body as site. Relationships are explored through the mutability of language, sound and colour. The complexity of skins and membranes as protective barriers but equally sites of controlled communication are recurrent themes in her work and continue to guide her research into the digestion of pain and its impact on the body. Krystle is a London based Asian artist born in Texas in the US. Her first degree was in Dentistry and she continues to work part time whilst participating on the MFA programme at Goldsmith’s University. She has exhibited in London and around the UK as well as in online exhibitions with Shrine gallery in New York. She has recently shown collaborative works in the 2021 edition of Deptford X and has an upcoming exhibition with The Florence Trust. Krystle has a monthly radio show with Aaja music, exploring the sound aspects of her work and has been selected for this year’s Bloomberg New Contemporaries.

Turf aims to be a space where all are welcomed & respected. We ask all attendees to align with this spirit when booking and support us in creating a welcoming & collaborative atmosphere together. We ask that everyone is;

  • Considerate of others’ time; allowing others room to speak & engage.
  • Respectful of the space itself as belonging to many people, treating the space & objects with care.
  • Attend wherever possible: In 2023, around 30% of people booking free tickets didn’t turn up! Our free tickets are limited and in high demand. Every person who doesn’t turn up means someone else can’t attend, so please let us know if you can’t make it to free up a space. If you don’t attend twice or more without letting us know, you may be restricted from booking again.
