I have been working like a machine for the past 4 days since I got back from the UK. As one of my fellow artists in residence said yesterday, “You’re flying them out Kay, so you are”. The new slip […]

‘Grounded’ Having played with the idea of creating some 3D pieces, I reviewed my work and realised that at this stage I just need to concentrate on making drawings. This all seems too sensible but as a result I have […]

Jean-Michel Basquiat also used images of boats in his paintings. Marshall states that in Basquiat’s triptych, Untitled (History of Black People) (1983), sometimes titled El Gran Espectaculo (The Grand Spectacle), Basquiat has directly copied the elongated and sickle shaped boat […]

I received the news that Sleep-drunk I dance once more led the Artists Talking Top Ten on one of those blotted out-days when M.E.-fatigue fills body&brain with leaden pellets and activity of an artistic, intellectual or almost any other kind […]

Recently I bought some rubber samples. I had envisaged making genitalia out of latex, cutting out the mutilated shapes, or even making female genitalia out of the latex. But perhaps this is too obvious? Instead I have etched an orchid […]

Triangles After looking at various monochromatic imagery of paintings and photography, I began gathering my own images for my painting/ series of paintings of monochromatic rendered flesh. I have been considering the triangular composition that runs through a lot of […]

Monochrome ‘active paint’. I have been experimenting with combining black and white (and the tonal greys you get from mixing them) with other colours. Will selecting my colour more sparingly communicate more intention? I have been producing more thumbnails in […]

Daddy, I am a Man! MIX TAPE: http://8tracks.com/daddy-i-am-a-man/daddy-i-am-a-m…

Recently I had a photoshoot with one of my old friends from high school Emily and I wanted to capture a balance of high contrast and brightness to achieve that creepy element that Boltanski has in his work. The image […]

I am still here honest, I’ve been continuing with my drawing and I think by number 33 in the series I seem to be making my mark… I think this one is number 19 though I’ve found that I am […]

Airoportica. A curator engages in conversation at the airport on zone 21.3 Curator X: ‘He told me that I had to make an appointment for the review thing again – so I’m looking at getting on the next flight out […]

BOB AND ROBERTA SMITH Bob and Roberta Smith specialize in witty slogans in his work. He uses paint as his main medium to produce his work in the form of signs. His relation to mine is the fact he uses […]

Now seems like a good time to reflect on what I have written so far and where I am at now and where I feel that I am going with my degree project. I started by looking at artists who […]

Well I am feeling a lot better now. My wood was successfully delivered last thursday and I have taken over the end third of Carlos Silva’s studio at The Milchhof. So the last week has seen me settling into a […]

Another place that seems to conjure the sublime for me is Dunwich with its strange contradictions e.g. the Sizewell nuclear power station and the Minsmere bird sanctuary. The work that I started based on the Gorse Walk at Dunwich Heath […]

A couple of evenings ago I attended a performance of Rooster by Rambert, from their new home on London’s Southbank, at the Theatre Royal, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. The company also staged Subterrain and The Castaways from their repertoire. First was Subterrain, a […]
