I managed four hours in my studio last Friday, playing with print making and my mangle, working out some processes and the best order with which to layer up different print making techniques for developing future pieces. These sessions, especially […]
Been up to London to visit the Queen…well not quite. Been up to Charlton [SE18] to re-visit my studio. …which I have been paying for over the last few months but not visited or worked in for various reasons. Its […]
Abstract as in that which is hard or impossible to represent; a state of mind or an emotional state.
Thanks be to Paul for his contribution: Why a tray of tomatoes to be roasted? These are the basic ingredients for a homemade tomato sauce (+ garlic & torn basil leaves) and this for me represents a number of aspects […]
Today, I headed over to Altrincham to install my paper shoes. I’d originally shown them in the recycling exhibition in The Williamson Art Gallery back in June this year and had packed them up afterwards without really checking them. I […]
going for a walk When things get complicated or I have so much information that I need to process, I go for a walk. There’s nothing like bucket loads of fresh air to clear the head and with miles and […]
The Sporting League: Game 38 Results. The results are finally in and Pointeso are the Sporting champions after a three goals to nil win over a weakened Zindustrious. Pundit X: ‘I don’t want to put the downers on the Pointesean […]
#TDE It was a full on rehearsal day today at 35 MHS – formerly home of Theatre Delicatessen, Marylebone Gardens. The afternoon was spent with Prams In The Hall, working on the stylization of a poem about a single father […]
This week is ‘Frieze week’ in London, and as well as the internationally recognised Frieze Art Fair in Regent’s Park, the city will be awash with other fairs, some artist-led and focused, some themed, and some unashamedly commercial.
This week’s must-see shows include a contemporary dialogue with Old Masters and the first solo UK show from an artist regarded by some as one of the most significant young American painters working today.
Furtherfield Gallery, London
31 August – 20 October 2013
The Birds: The relationship to man and birds is very different to man and dog. There is a hedge in our back garden where countless sparrows live. I watch them they are busy zipping off, coming back and zipping off […]
Not been able to get here as its been a busy few days. Friday I set off for the Saatchi Gallery where a new Art Fair called SRARTA had just opened. I was on my way to see work by […]
BUILDING THE CROWD A long talk surrounded by sensory input from the smell of coffee and the buzz of nearby conversations. The conversation with my third a-n Re:viewer Hen Norton, built on my review with Nicola Streeton and John Plowman, […]
My Portfolio Review session at Impressions Gallery on Friday, with exhibiting photographer Melanie Friend and Head of Programming Pippa Oldfield, has given me much to think about over the weekend.Although I am very interested in Melanie Friend’s work, and found […]
It’s been a very busy week and a half at the studio as I knuckled down and got on with painting my conceptual self portrait, which I’ve been working on since last summer. Part of the delay was due to […]
The aspect I find most difficult to manage as an artist with a portfolio career is the fluid nature of projects, how there are no hard edges as such and one piece of work has a tendency to bleed over, […]
We’ve been hunter gathering our ingredients, receptacles and pots. This has led us to strange and intriguing outlets: fish and chip shops, scientific suppliers and taken us on a fast track to the murky depths of ebay. To formulate our […]
New Year? New… So the triple bill I’m featured in promises to be an interesting one. The group piece will be quite emotional, if I understood well, while the other solo will be quirky and fun in some places. As […]
Statue of Liberty This is the first piece of work I have done since I graduated from my Fine Art Degree this time last year. I work full time and im determined not to let my art dream die. But […]
These pieces were ostensibly a response to domestic artefacts from Knole House, in this case a small hand-held brazier, once used to warm the cold corners of rooms in the house, the other a pair of Goffering tongs, used hot […]
I got up quite early today to get a few things done and give the dogs a good walk before I went out for the day. As it turned out though, I was back home by 12.30 and spent most […]
Hi everyone… we’re looking for someone to do some writing for us… a review of the show, and possibly a piece about Bo’s work, and a piece about mine… we’d like to take the work on elsewhere after Ledbury, and […]
