PENELOPE ROSE ANDERSON

MRes Bilateral Art Practice Exhibition

Penelope Rose Anderson presents a live exploration of Bilateral Art Practice (BAP), where mark-making using both hands unfolds through movement, gesture, and process.

Within the installation space, the work develops through in‑situ making, with surfaces evolving over time. The installation brings together painting, gesture, and performance, drawing attention to the relationship between body, material, and space.

The presentation draws on recent practice and research, where bilateral making extends beyond the studio into shared and responsive contexts.

Had a fab time with today. I took her to a special place, we entered the water slowly, and she bravely followed me in. We talked about so much that I ended up needing a little nap this afternoon.

Waking up in a sunbeam just now, I realised how much happens when two creativities meet, the energy, the honesty, the figuring‑out of who we are and how we live. Sometimes the only way to process it is to sleep.

Clare sparked something big in me today about permission, possibility, and what comes next. I’m overwhelmingly excited.

thanks also to
and Jesse Briton for making this beautiful connection possible x

A little moment from last Thursday’s phoenix burn at Hetty, flames, vapour and that drifting ethereal music wrapping around the night. You can’t see much detail in the clip, but you can hear a young lad asking his guardian what would happen if you threw a piece of metal into the fire.
“Nothing much,” they say, but I loved that spark of curiosity.
That instinct to wonder what if… feels like the heart of creativity itself.

Last Thursday night at Hetty felt like stepping into an open‑air cathedral of creativity. As dusk settled over the valley, the Artworkers’ showcase from came alive, fire glowing through stained‑glass colours, translucent 3D sculptures and hand‑built forms that shimmered like living artefacts.

We wandered the old industrial site, transformed into a kind of spiritual pilgrimage. The towering metal structures, those cage‑like frames and great circular wheels — are the original winding frames of Hetty Pit. These wheels once guided the steel cables that lowered miners underground and hauled coal back to the surface.

On Thursday, they became something else entirely.

The welded metal phoenix stood on the ground, lit in flames. Its smoke and flickering vapours rose up the brick walls and drifted through the old winding frames, climbing the same architecture that once powered the valley. The firelight flickered across the audience’s faces, and the ethereal music made the whole place feel alive, as if the past and present were breathing together.

Later, back in my studio, I looked at a painting I’ve been working on for about 15 years, an abstract piece I never fully understood, and suddenly I could see those structures in it.
Sometimes the artwork knows before I do. Sometimes the future catches up with the present, and the meaning arrives when it’s ready.

This sharing marked the end of three weeks of training funded by Welsh Government and Amazon Creative Industries, where Artworkers learned rigging, pyrotechnics, outdoor lighting, sound and movement. A beautiful glimpse into what they’ve been creating together.

Full‑day workshop exploring bilateral art‑making — creating with both sides of the body — through movement, sensory noticing and expressive mark‑making.

Led by artist‑researcher Penelope Rose Anderson and presented with Citrus Arts as part of Rage Rage | Oes Oes, the day invites you to slow down, tune into place, and discover what emerges through embodied creativity.

We begin with a gentle guided walk starting Hopkinstown town hall, noticing colour, texture, rhythm and memory in the landscape. Back in the hall, you’ll explore small and large‑scale drawing and painting using both hands, long brushes, charcoal, inks and mixed media across a series of “Art Flow Stations”.

The focus is on curiosity, freedom and flow, allowing mark making and imagery to arise from embodied sensations.

This workshop is suitable for all levels. No previous art experience is needed — just openness and a willingness to explore.

Please note: Penelope is currently undertaking a Masters in Research and may record parts of the workshop for her research journal. Let her know on the day if you prefer not to be included. You can also opt out of any social media documentation.
