As this is my first, experimental, attempt at blogging I will be briefly summarising another experimental undertaking. The transition from using cardboard to MDF for construction of a finalised work. The piece is formally based on theoretical physics expounded by […]
The Rain BBC iplayer briefly streamed via 3G to my iPhone. This magical gateway only opened for a couple of hours this morning and I spent the time catching up with that Saatchi spectacular about six lost artists trying to […]
On reflection I fear I have become a bit of a blagueur a notion that my increasingly bushy sideburns do nothing to dispel. The bulk of my time is currently taken up with drawing spaceships and making a haphazard edition […]
The Flame of Liberty in Paris has commemorated many things. Franco-American relations, the fallen French Resistance workers and now Diana Princess of Wales, who happened to have been in an accident under the Pont d’Alma tunnel. The flame is the […]
Psychologist Frederic Bartlett noted when we deconstruct an image, it soon becomes an autobiographical process in which we end up analysing and speaking about our relationship to an image via our personal memories. My practice does this very thing, addressing […]
Journey to boat and arrival on board We travelled by train to Antwerp, via Brussels. Katy read Maus on the train and was transported between times, other trains and travels across Europe, people fleeing for their lives or already captured […]
Life on board ship Early on Thursday morning, we finally embarked from Antwerp docks. It was snowing, and no horizon was visible as we stood on the bridge listening to the captain shouting readings – “20 starboard… 10 port” We […]
Remembering Billy Connelly: We did actually see a St. Bernard the other night, before the snow came. In comparison with its owner it came up inbetween waist and chest height. Looked more like a pony from a distance. We saw […]
joy to the world. words. /[|//{]-__-[}\|/] where’s the time lord?
‘It is with very deep regret that the Trustees announce that KUBE will close from 31st January 2010 and Abi Kremer’s exhibition, ‘Colour & Inspiration: Paintings 1979 – 2009′, will be the last in this building’ This is the email, […]
Some good news about the project, even though the SSCs haven’t actually started yet (so we don’t know if anyone will choose them): we have been asked to attend a conference in Truro. “CONVERSATIONS BETWEEN SURGERY, PATHOLOGY, THE HUMANITIES & […]
St. Georges. Both my school projects are either called St. Georges or St. George plays a large roll in school life! bizare! I was suposed to have an interview today near Worcester, but it has now been rescheduled till the […]
What do you do when the viewer doesn’t respond to your work as you want them to? I’ve been spending time in the cafe this week, instead of in my studio, talking to the customers and trying to get them […]
As the chill blows in today, I am concious of the reflections and camera images we have been experimenting with, somehow, sitting here, I am also concious of them reflecting the cold winters of the past upon the house. It […]
Really nice time at the Royal Standard (my studio) Christmas Party last night.. mostly I loved decorating the gallery as a log cabin and making cardboard mountains and of course, the dancing at the end of the night. But it’s […]
Good news! Mediation is set for early January. Apparently, binding contracts can be drawn up on the day if both parties agree. We have been living with this for so long now that the idea of settlement seems like a […]
Snow in Dover – just a tiny bit but enough to make the cars in the road sound different.
I saw this earlier this evening, posted by Susan Jones on twitter: http://www.skillset.org/uploads/pdf/asset_14315.pd… A guide to Internships. Lots of really good rules about pay/minimum wage – worker issues and time limits. So I applied this to the two internships advertised […]
I am afraid I am empty of words right now..so here is a review of my show at Julian Hartnoll Gallery by a spectacular artist Enver Gursev, who kindly sent me this after seeing the exhibition: ‘ “I Am Yours” […]
