More drawings made from “Toys of the Avant-Garde” book

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 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 […]

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 […]

As long as it takes… This week I have been at a crossroads with this project whether to ditch it or stick with it. I felt that I was nearing completion of the Penny Arcade piece, however after a full […]

Exploring creating works on canvas and then removing the stretcher… Seeing how things can be displayed…

Well I’ve been back down in Somerset for the Easter weekend which was a good way of taking a small amount of time off. I managed to get to Stourhead and look at the landscaped garden. This was a place […]
