Art From London Markets, a-n feature

This year has been heavy on administration and a bit light on making. Having had some success with the promotion I have decided to have a concentrated period of making, and have started on a series of works under the working tile of Spaces In Between. There is still admin to be done but I am going to make an attempt to go back to my earlier resolution to limit it to one hour a day max. Today that is this blog plus twitter and instagram, and then the next few days will be the Corby Glen appointments. It is also prime competition entry time so I will have to be picky about what I enter.

Work is progressing well with this approach and I have a whole selection of work in process which is necessary with my drying times for reasonable productivity, and when I am in a flow state I love it, and when I am feeling like a complentitive session I’ve got lots to look at and think about.

I am also researching and thinking about ship building, black pepper, butchery and the footprints of Kings.

So at the end of Roy’s People Art Fair I had a bunch of leads, things to follow up, and so I did.

On Monday I will be installing work for a 3 month exhibition at Tower 42, 25 Old Broad Street, London EC2N right in the heart of the City.  I will have a cabinet including two sculptures:

Phoenix Egg

and

Mr Equiano’s Scales

along with 4 of my Small Experiments in Colour and 4 of my Tiny Experiments in Colour, in addition I will be installing one large work in the downstairs lobby on the wall to the right as you go up the stairs a few days later.

In addition to this opportunity there are two others in the pipeline.

So as well as following up with these I was off to Corby glen for the sheepfair, recruiting people to share their memories for the project.  I have over 30 volunteers, I have been in touch with the gallery for available days for recording which they have kindly provided, so the next job is to allocate them all a slot which I will do after Monday.

 

Today I am spending the day making sure all the frames, work and even sugar lumps are in perfect condition, and wrapping things to take on Monday.  Got to make sure there is some family time this weekend!
