I’ve been lucky enough to participate in Thread, Paper, Cloth, a collaborative project between Rosie James and Clare Smith. It’s a wonderful opportunity to take time experimenting and chatting in the company of like-minded artists, with no pre-conceptions as to […]
Well we’ve started! I am making a 3D papier mache object inspired by one of Josh’s photographs of a heap of grit covered in snow (eventually it will be white and glittery) and I’ve been thinking about the nature of […]
Construction Project Day #22 The question at the back of my mind yesterday was ‘could I have the same effect without a light bulb?’ Depending of how you position the aluminum sheets, the strength of hue and colous of paint […]
Today is 2nd May – I’m surprised that I haven’t been able to visit my blog for a month – until I think of all the commitments, distractions and ephemera of life. Two days ago the Assad regime in Syria […]
This week my long established need to make things more complicated than they should be continues. Why take 5 minutes to do something when it can take 5 hours? I have been casting my family fingers in wax. Laboriously in […]
I’ve been printing at workshop all day, so a complete change from rest of week where I have been virtually house bound. It is great to be out in real world and talk to people again. Re-printed old drypoints, added […]
Young children are kinesthetic learners. They think by moving. They learn by touching and pushing and hearing the sound things make when they’re dropped or knocked over. Taking young children to a gallery can be a trial for all concerned. […]
Now reviewing my work since January. 14th Jan Some methods (ie working with paper on wall) making me more self-conscious. 21st Jan Quite a simple way of working with paint and pencil. Brushes,finger, pencil, knife being used. 23rd Jan Painting […]
2nd May 2014 After a break while we were both doing other projects, Frances and I have been getting together again to discuss making a limited edition book of the prints that we made from the tablecloth. We are both […]
February 3rd I wrote about what I have been trying to do ‘Finding ways to respond and learning how to push what I am doing so hard that I fail, go past a critical point in the process and discover […]
The Paying Artists Campaign, which will launch in May with its own designated website, intends to engage the arts-going public in the debate around artists’ value and fair remuneration for work.
Art students from Edinburgh, Leeds and Ghent form collective practice to deconstruct value systems of art in a fair of their own at Talbot Rice Gallery, Edinburgh.
Am I writing this post because I feel motivated or does writing this post motivate me? I’m not missing the MA course as such since it finished but I am missing something — I feel somewhat directionless. Perhaps it’s because […]
TODAY IS THE DAY! Fantastic Tales opens tonight. It’s all falling into place. 11 out of 16 Danish artists will be here for the opening (10 are coming over from Denmark especially to be here). Way to much to do […]
Construction Project Day #21 Even thought I switched the lights completely out yesterday, I have re-introduced just one for today. Not because I feel totally attached, but because I thought that the one white striplight may add something to the […]
John Constable Whilst recently visiting the beautiful countryside of Dedham/ Flatford, I thought it was essential to look at the work of traditional English painter John Constable. Constables traditional style although not similar to mine, is of huge interest to […]
I only encounter my dad’s young self through photographs, and yet over the last few months the face I knew directly has been overlaid with the one in the images I study, so that, when I happened to look at […]
After many weeks of putting off my knitting, i decided to sit and just get it done. I had lost the enthusiasm to do it until now. Once complete i stitched the three pieces together using ribbon so that it […]
Just a couple of shorts videos put into one file of George entertaining himself upon my work.
