Diary of a residency…

I went to London recently to pick up my work that didn’t get into the royal academy summer show :-( slightly depressing but randomly happened upon the saatchi gallery that i realised i’ve never been into and amongst other interesting things saw this brilliant installation that is a permanent feature in the saatchi- it is a room filled with oil and it is so still, shiny and reflective that at first you can’t tell what it is apart from the very obvious smell of oil.
