I’ve evolved. I know now that art is something more than just looking good; I’ve learnt that you can create minimal pictures with meaning that can stun art critics everywhere. I’ve learnt I have a talent for the 3D, that […]

La Bouche  by Hans Bellmer was another interesting piece to look at because one of my pieces was also a chair and was also mostly made of a dismembered body. I had constructed the chair with just a head atop […]

(post by Joseph) Took advantage of the spectacular weather today (after an extraordinary fog-filled early morning) to start filming a promo film. We’re thinking of starting a crowd-funding campaign to raise money (it seems like a suitable fit) and so […]

My work as a whole differs a ton from my paintings work in a manner of ways, though one thing is consistent between them; theres a violence about them. Both my paintings and physical work have both uncanny elements as […]

‘Now, dolls are of course rather closely connected with childhood life. We remember that in their early games children do not distinguish at all sharply between living and inanimate objects, and that they are especially fond of treating their dolls […]

Jake and Dinos Chapmans work, Great Deeds Against The Dead, was the piece I was looking at before I chose the final pieces for my dissertation as I was looking at dolls and the human form. This work appealed to me […]

‘It often happens that neurotic men declare that they feel there is something uncanny about the female genital organs. This unheimlich place, however, is the entrance to the former Heim [home] of all human beings, to the place where each […]

When I first came to London in 1982 it was as a music student playing the viola at the Royal College of Music, round the corner from the V&A. Many years later, I discovered I was dyslexic, but at the […]

I wrote my dissertation upon the uncanny; on the homely and unhomely. I actually had a great interest in this kind of work before hand and looked at a few of the artists while I was planning my dissertation and […]

Though not as successful in my second year as my first, I had fun in this second year because for the first time ever I got to create paintings. I made them big, using bright colours and instead of going […]

‘Unnamed’ at the white space was my first installation ever; it was within the white space, was dark, involved projectors and had words along the walls around the pieces. The pieces themselves, including a wire deer head bound with string, […]

Level four was an exiting time, because before this moment I had only ever experimented in doing work upon the computer and occasionally, when feeling brave, I’d draw something physically.  That all changed when I joined UCS and began to […]

My visit to gallery camp at Derby Quad has rekindled my interest in the use of technology in art. This ranges from the depiction of technology as a metaphor, as with the alchemical imagery of Marcel Duchamp’s ‘The Bride Stripped […]

Having been extended due to popular demand, Tangled Yarns finished at the William Morris Gallery on 1 February. I was exhilarated from the amazing feedback and reviews, but also completely exhausted. So the end of the exhibition was also a […]

‘Bread and Roses’ fifteen weeks on … Fifteen weeks on from the General Election, 2015 and the roses in particular are showing real signs of decay. Neglect has had less of an impact on the bread, however. ‘Full of preservatives, […]

My mother  told of a day when she thought she had won the football pools and excitedly told my father. He in turn pointed out to her that the document that she showed him was her record of results and […]

The factors that allow art to be selected for competitions, art galleries and public spaces seem to be somewhat abstract and arbitrary, especially in my case (but probably many others as well).  As when fellow artists, artist models and members […]

(Joseph) Well, the weather today couldn’t have been more different than the last few days. It’s been warm, bright, sunny and generally glorious. We decided to take a trip to Unst with two objectives: 1) to record a colony of […]

This past Wednesday, I visited Morecambe to see the interior of The Midland Hotel, and be guided around the hotel by the very knowledgeable concierge Brian, who has worked at the hotel since it reopened in 2008, and also stayed […]
