A huge thank you to Nick and Jeff from CNC Polystyrene, part of Honeyring Ltd., who have kindly agreed to sponsor my piece by helping me with the 3d scan of the model and cutting it on their huge CNC […]
Today is a bit momentous – my first day as a 100 % fully self- employed artist. A couple of weeks ago I heard that I had been successful in gaining funding from Bradford organisation Two28 to run a participatory […]
The drawing stage is followed by the model making. Loads. This stage helps to solve formal issues and to understand the technical challenges. It’s easier to solve these on a small scale !
Hello, I’m back. I had to concentrate on another project last week, but which does not mean that the Broomhill project remained idle. A lot of things happened. So lets start from the beginning as I promised to illustrate the […]
AUDIOBLOG – Please click here Another studio session… doesn’t time fly when you’re having fun? A bar has opened at the other end of Birdcage Walk. It is very busy, good for them! Although I am rather disturbed by the […]
The artist Gordon Shrigley is running in the general election on a no-policies ticket. In a piece originally published on The Conversation, Lois Rowe speaks to him and declares herself unconvinced by his campaign tactics.
The second of the exhibitions that I have curated has just opened. What a steep learning curve it has been. I don’t think I understood how time-consuming it was, especially in thinking time. And so many lists! The exhibition, Things […]
This week’s selection includes Palaeolithic-inspired paintings at Camden Arts Centre, Chinese performance art in Manchester, and an Anglo-Japanese alliance in Stoke-on-Trent.
No …i haven’t finished!… but I’m starting to think about the different finishes I could put on the steel frame. These images show where the welds have been cleaned, slight surface rusting that has occurred and also the mill scale […]
The Museum for Object Research is once again grateful to object artist Kate Murdoch for sourcing this extraordinary project by Phil Toledano – When I Was Six. A most poignant and powerful example of how objects open up into lost […]
htmlhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punch_and_Judy My performance art piece was contextualised too on couple artists Punch and Judy. Their artworks are a traditional, popular, and usually very violent puppet show featuring Mr Punch and his wife Judy. The performance consists of a sequence of […]
Where was my first performance, and how I felt myself? Well, my first presentation was on the plinth placed in front of the main building of UCS. So, I was exposed in front of the people walking in the street […]
For the second phase untitled, it was the sequence of the previous act of domestic violence performance. This took place in the dark room, with my images with aggression makeup, were transmitted in my body through the projector, and I […]
The mask on the face has a meaning of metaphor, where people hide their own feelings or actions. And as part of the performance I looked at the carnival masks. Brazilian-Masks are an important feature also in the Carnival customs, […]
I had a great day in my studio yesterday choosing the colours and shapes that I will use in the final sculpture. I use relief ink on sculptures such as theses because the colour is very intense with lots of […]
As well as working on the metal structure I have also been drawing out and cutting the wooden forms that will be attached to the metal body. These wooden shapes will represent an organism and a rocky outcropping. I worked […]
I have spent two intensive days in the metal workshop this week, working on the main steel body of the sculpture. I have mainly been working on the joints that will allow the sculpture to be taken apart for transport, […]
a fine mist rolled in off the sea in the winter morning light..the sun was behind me and had allowed a warm few minutes in which to sketch..
It’s been the Easter school holidays. That’s one of my excuses for not blogging lately, but that doesn’t mean that work on my projects hasn’t been almost constant. On the 25th March I travelled up to Glasgow by coach with […]
In this post i will show a few photos from my studio and the work i had done and as well, the work in progress as fair i say there is a lot in progress, but will be finished in […]
Here’s another picture taken by our resident wizard Lucy Kerrane for the New Designers press pack. I should probably link it on here even though I accidentally posted a half-finished statement and I can’t be bothered to change it. Here […]
OPEN AFTERNOON IN THE CHURCH The afternoon went well. 15 people came to each of the Readings on Silence sessions and other people visited between times. As promised I will list the four books from which I read extracts: The […]
