What the work is about ? (1). If you are of a sensitive nature do not watch.

I really enjoyed creating these works, they were a lot more palyful… I just went with ideas and tried not to be too hung up on the weight of art history and critical theory that can be applied (A side […]

New works…..

I am learning to embrace the diversity of my practice… I used to want to find a certain type of work that I could stick to… I never wanted to make art that just went on and on, never changing, […]

I have been thinking this week about studio spaces. That precious piece of the world that exists just for an artist, our own little hovel of self doubt, self expression and self absorption. Our brain outside our brain. I have […]

Well the start of the Easter break has been really quite good so far. I discovered on Friday afternoon that my application to exhibit my work in Gallery North – the professional gallery based within Northumbria University -during the degree […]

Withdrawing from the art circus, I decided to ‘go with the flow’ for a few weeks and concentrate on my own work. Ironically, while not even ‘trying’ during this time, I received an email asking if I would do another […]

Stitches hold everything together. My new motto. I can believe anything if I hold this close. I’m still playing with the stitches. I want them to be fairly simple and stark at the moment, so the individual still shines out. […]

I now have realised my collections need to have a personal meaning to me for me to really understand them, such as the train tickets and receipts, so I have began collecting frog ornaments… Ever since I was a child […]

I began to think of other ways I could create collections – still being personal to me, which perhaps would not involve objects directly like my work seems to be doing, but something that would portray me somehow. My first […]

Another day in the life of josh.

Another review of work earlier on this year. This piece was another layered spraypaint image which had been inspired by the works of Snik. I was going to make this piece about the angel who let the sun scorch people […]

[OCCUPIED] – Airspace Gallery My work which was exhibited here was a representation of the gallery itself using stacks of laser cut white card, altering the shape of the building through the layering and changes of direction of the card.
