I have now begun to put the drawings and sounds together. It is slow work and will take all my time over the next few weeks. The first clip, available on Vimeo, is of archaeologists digging. If all goes well […]
AUDIOBLOG – Please click here Talking about the objects: Just talking about them does something to the way I handle them. I have knitted a vest for Hans, the doll without a hand, or rather, the hand resides elsewhere… It […]
I taught at Newlyn School of Art for the weekend I was due to leave for Scotland. So I was tired as I began the drive north. But I couldn’t wait to leave, to begin my journey. The car was […]
Audioblog – Please click here The isolated artist is a myth. Impossible. (If you have evidence to the contrary, do tell) It is only by talking to other artists that you develop. (Talking to non-artists is good too, but a […]
In life, we all appropriate in some way – whether this is retelling a joke or copying a haircut from some celebrity. But in the process of appropriation, often the thing in question becomes personalised simply in that in comes […]
I have written this over the last couple of days as i have been so busy and unble to post so the first part is from the other day and the last is from today. 20th September Frustration and […]
The BBC Scotland website is featuring my residency, with images from my sketchbook journal!
This year’s Jerwood Drawing Prize continues its reputation for being deliberately provocative in its definition of ‘drawing’, with the top award going to a video piece. Lydia Ashman soaks up the medium’s shifting forms.
Although I have now completed an online version of my Orkney journal, I am having difficulties in getting it to work online. Another update will follow as soon as the problem is resolved. In the meantime, here is a drawing […]
Good morning lovely people, I had completely forgotten to mention that I have built a website, if you have a spare few minutes please take a look at what I do. www.stuartbelton.com
A few developments since my last post, mostly on a positive note. Firstly the drawing I submitted to the ING Discerning Eye was rejected – bummer. I had to do the walk of shame and collect it on Tuesday. Whilst […]
AUDIOBLOG – Please click here For the last 15 years I have spent most Friday mornings life drawing. It has always been a discipline and exercise I love. But I’m not really getting anywhere with it, I’m not concentrating hard […]
The first two days of this week were spent at the Drawing Research Network conference, ‘Tracing The Bridge’, where I hoped to learn about projects that are using drawing as a ‘bridge’ to other disciplines. Although I did not find any […]
I’ve booked in to a workshop with Kate after discovering her work on FB. I feel inspired to work with other artists who have similar interests, celtic mysticism, anam cara, and being in touch with one’s inner self. The journey inwards to the universe.
I’ll jump straight in I think with an update as to what I’ve been up to the last week or so since my last update. I’ve been extremely busy which is good news and have managed to finish my drawing […]
This week has been mainly studio housework in preparation for developing the material collected during the residency. In between clearing the decks, I have been re-scanning all my sketches as high resolution images on a flat bed scanner, and regaining the […]
In the meantime… The studio work continues, drawings of objects made into assemblies, bringing together unusual bedfellows. Some of these had a public showing at the Blackwater Polytechnic Open Studios recently in the magnificent home of Ben Coode-Adams and Freddie Robins. […]
Pimping paper This blog post is being written whilst I am drawing, the huge surge of thoughts and ideas are positively coursing through my veins, I thought it best not to lose these ephemeral thoughts altogether so have decided to […]
Now that the residency is over, I am starting to analyse the material collected and prepare to develop work in my studio. This blog will be updated each week with a post about the progress of my project. So far I […]
In addition to my video Self, I’m also working on a large scale wall drawing which draws on the images I’ve been taking of myself and is made up of hundreds of post-its. In order to make this work I applied […]
