Art in Bearpit, curated by Hand in Glove, launches the first three months of its participatory public programme in Bristol’s iconic sunken roundabout.
As mentioned in my previous post I have recently been exploring scale. Over the past week or so I managed to get some images printed at A0. I was trilled with the outcome for several reasons. Firstly, (I feel slightly […]
Memory and Pictorial Space.
British Art Show 8 curators Anna Colin and Lydia Yee have selected the artists for this year’s exhibition, which opens in Leeds in October.
This week’s selection features a post-production studio in Bristol, old and modern masters in Norwich and an exploration of Birmingham’s history.
I’m really interested in the idea of ‘found paintings’. Coming across painterly incidents within the non-art arena of functional painting. Within badly painted fences and botched half jobs I see shapes and compositions that are really interesting when viewed in […]
After discussing the shape of the metal structure and its fixture to the stand on Wednesday, I returned on Friday, 24th April, to Honeyring LTd – CNC Polystyrene. We inserted the metal structure into the Polystyrene form and Nick and […]
A busy week! On Wednesday 23 April I went to see the Welder Steve Bate in Horton Heath, Eastleigh Hants. Pure Bliss! Judge for yourself from the pics below! How often do you get greeted by a curious free roaming […]
WEEK 27 artists in attendance 13 Oooo I’m making them think again! The artists brought in their memory objects and we just told each other our stories for the whole session. It was great for the group to get to […]
In some of my recent work I have experimented with the use of ‘spectacle frames’ within my paintings. The intention is to two fold. Firstly, it attempts to illustrate what I, as the painter, see when I create the artwork. […]
The first big wobble came today. I got an unexpected call from Mikkel, lead carpenter on the project; unexpected because I didn’t know they would be working today, on the weekend. The wobble came because I came to suspect […]
AUDIOBLOG – Please click here Bloggers United (From Arlanda Airport) I know I’ve said before that meeting people you’ve met online is a joy! When you’ve had meaningful exchanges about life, art, and so on, you get to know […]
My car has no brakes – metaphorically speaking of course. A month left to make work and I have embarked on three new strands of work, exploring new materials and processes. Yeah it feesl a bit crazy at this late […]
I is for Imelda Marcos, A-Z of Filipino Cultural Exports Forty years have passed since the 20 year Marcos regime, yet Imelda Marcos, first lady to President Ferdinand Marcos (1965 – 1986) continues her cultural legacy inadvertently through pop culture, in the smash […]
AUDIOBLOG – Please click here We didn’t know what to expect. We flew all that way, clutching our work for what was variously described as group show, party, event, and actually, more accurately, a “happening”. People turned up throughout […]
It was an exciting day on Friday. I found out that the powder coaters had finished working on my sculpture and I arranged for it to be delivered. I had to race from work to meet the delivery team at […]
I have also made a short video of the pin prick writing projected a very short distance. See it on vimeo: https://vimeo.com/125958342
Annie (2015) ink and acrylic on canvas I want the viewer to sympathise but also be fearful of this depiction of the psychological shattering of Annie.
I am exploring how I can make work using the acetate sheet taped to the window. Slight problem – the sunlight/heat on the glass unsticks the tape and the acetate keeps falling away. If I am going to go take […]
