Just a quick one; a couple of little updates! Regular readers of my blog at glittermouse.co.uk will recall my last exhibition at the Chinese Arts Centre in September, in which I displayed photos from PlaceMaking workshops in the UK and […]
Video’s that i put together today. Each of them silent in order to represent how beagles can not speak for themselves and how we humans are their only hope. Also it represents how their vocal cords are removed in order […]
LARA ALMARCEGUI During my site visits, I was reminded of Lara Almarcegui’s work which occupied the Spanish Pavilion during last years Venice Biennale. In a way comparable to my own practice, Almarcegui examines processes of urban transformation that derive from […]
Text by Victoria Gray Form and Context The question of context is at the foreground in this stage of the project. It became interesting to explore the uses of sEMG in its original context, that being the medical field. This […]
After six months of financial chaos, stress, and mostly chaos, things have started to return to normal, after my prodigal son returned home again, escorted by the police. In short, his living situation was atrocious, never mind the fact that […]
It was back in September when I first started using family photography in my artwork. I had selected one image of myself standing in the back garden of my childhood home. At this point I was thinking about my own […]
Remiss or what?! Last post January 2013? It’s now March… Hello again. Well, we’ve got the green light to stay until May 11, 2014, and are firming up plans to show in the first few days of May. I’m not […]
In previous posts I have reflected on my wish to use anaglypta wallpaper in more of my works given the relevance of such a material to my childhood memories. Following both my initial experiment on this paper and then working […]
When I was finding it oh so hard to get my a*** over to the studio a couple of months ago, I found that I could only make it as far as East Dulwich before feeling compelled to get off […]
Back in the studio, I felt a little disillusioned to be the only one there. It seems that the artists who are left on the residency are there when I’m not and we only see proof of each other’s existence […]
On ‘finishing’ Today – after a few months in progress I have finished my painting. But what is it to finish? It seems to involve an intense mix of anticipation and aprehension;an excitement followed by the anti-climax of feeling – […]
Today continuing to gather ideas and exploring observations and perspectives on the near shoreline Georgia O’keeffe, has been an artist who has inspired me in the past and has now re-emerged within this present project. that deals with observations of […]
I love the design of this carpet situated in the hall of my new residence for it’s colour and echoes of the age of Art Deco. For me it brings to mind the reception hall at Eltham Palace during Stephen […]
Plaster casting I have just spent 2 days in the plaster room. Most ceramic artists I have met here do not pledge much allegiance to plaster as a material, in fact many of them downright loath the stuff. For me, […]
After two very long and productive days in the studio I have made some real progress! Day 1 Day 1 mainly consisted of drawing out ideas for the background and after much anticipation I tore the majority of the background […]
Yoko Ono, Andy Goldsworthy and Pablo Bronstein are among the internationally renowned artists commissioned for the third edition of Folkestone Triennial.
A new arts documentary film festival produced in partnership with the BBC is to take place in April as part of the Glasgow International festival.
Only The (Dark) Horses… I usually don’t take that long in between posts. Last time I went off the blog’s radar for a long while was 4 years ago, when I first joined in and started this blog. Quickly though […]
Studio Day then today. What is really great is, I don’t have a list of tasks to complete by a deadline, one set by me or anyone else. I’m not naive enough to think this will always be the case, […]
