‘If you have a Sunday free, place flowers on their graves’ Portsmouth – Leatherhead – Portsmouth April 2nd 2013 World Autism Awareness Day Indirect intervention plus one hour Change in clocks seems to have thrown my PTSD waking into utter […]
The book is developing… final design is done, made a video to help promote it on RocketHub and started a Facebook page to keep friends updated with its progress and as a place to hold info that didn’t make it […]
There was a collective ‘oh xxxx’ in work last week as we were all given a letter containing our projected pensions on retirement. One of the perils of working in the arts I suppose. My dream of going back to […]
Fragments of a dream These pieces are further explorations and a certain amount of playfulness and experimentation into externalising the internal. They originated as images of pieces of my painting ‘Fools Gold’ which I found to be paintings within their […]
Drawings from observation using the iron board that I deconstructed, viewed from different angles and perspectives. I feel this way of working has a lot of potential as this opens a new line of enquiry and ideas for creating new […]
Ceredigion Over Easter I went to see my better half’s family in what I can probably only describe as the most beautiful place in Wales I have visited in a long time. I’m really looking forward to Gideon Koppel’s exhibition […]
These are the drawings I made from the book “Toys of the Avant-Garde” by Jose Lebrero Stals published by Museo Picasso Malaga. My tutor lent me this book and I absolutely loved it. The exhibition was on last Summer in […]
Well definitely something between paddling and rowing… To help make more room for my art practice and to allow a proper rhythm to emerge I’ve slimmed down my online presence and and will be focusing on keeping my axis pages […]
More drawings from the book “Toys from the Avant-Garde” I specially had a interest in the toys of Pablo Picasso, the hand puppets of Paul Klee and the carved wood finger puppets from an unknown artist.
When in doubt draw, and though I’ve sited the body as a key theme weirdly I’ve been making box and frame like forms, hey hum
More drawings made from “Toys of the Avant-Garde” book
These are drawings that I made after looking at “Toys of the Avant-Garde” book. In the first one, I draw a group of wooden shapes and rearrange them my own way in this drawing. In the second one I use […]
Day One of 50 Words or less. Thought: A soundscape will work very well with the daily walk sculptural sketchbooks. I will get working on that when I begin the next one. A spinning stool could possibly work with its […]
More drawings from the sketchbook… playing with composition, colour and texture. Also they all look very figurative or as if they want to represent the body. The wood carrier at uni looks a bit like a bull’s horns or someone […]
I feel like I have almost catch up in here! It is being useful to see the work that I have done so far collected in this blog, it is helping me to see the next step or what feeling […]
This Week (Part One) – Performance publishing’ interventions – Meetings with Beijing based artists – Visit to the China Printing Museum One of the aims of my residency is to explore the nature of public space in Beijing through re-enacting […]
Part Three | Week 3 & 4 Couple of weeks have past, not a huge amount has changed due to being out for a week with a flu bug. But I’m back in the studio, recently completed a full blackout […]
I was introduced to zinc by my uni technician at a moment when I was feeling a bit bored about it all. Zinc, it is easy to cut and to manipulate. Although I’m using here very simple shapes so I […]
I’ve lots to share, it’s been six weeks since I did the photograms and I’ve been having fun pushing the work more and refining the presentation of what I’ve already made. I’ve framed up the photograms and I’m increasingly happy […]
Photo shoot.
I often claim that London is to 21st century art what Paris was for 20th century art. This bold assumption doesn’t by any means suggest that London produces the greatest of artists; until now it has been too far from […]
I proposed this project with very little thought about the reality of how I was going to achieve the outcomes I had set myself. Now I am in the middle of the preparation and it has grown into an enormous, […]
Pointeso Art Scene: Naze Vale Open. Hazard Johasson is waiting for the email to come in. The computer is running slow again in the Northern Indentine region. ‘Your session has timed out…please try again.’ He presses the tab to the […]
I will use the blog too, to do research as I think I’m stuck with meaning and why I do the things I do. I like the idea of playing a role, to be an actor and play a character, […]
This work, starts having a presence, starts working together, I love the innocence, the expression of this kind of “bird”, it has a sad expression, and it makes it vulnerable. Is this trying to represent my emotions, what story is […]
