Upon my return from Northern Iraq, I have begun painting my own portraits of the women, from photographs, and hope to exhibit these alongside the artwork by the Yazidi women. A graduate in Arabic and History, I was 18 when she […]
Projects from a-n members selected from a-n’s busy Events section, including an event in Birmingham celebrating the band Sleater-Kinney and exhibitions in Medway, Pembrokeshire, Shrewsbury and Oxford.
I have started to compile a list of ‘I’ statements that describe who I am. I thought that if traditional self-portraits were too limited in scope to say something meaningful about who I am; beyond what I look like, then […]
My favourite concept in the City of the Making was Christine and Sebastian’s house where they are breaking it down and re-building literally inside and out whilst they are living and working in it. Because of the SidM desire that […]
A staggering 8 years after the last post on this blog, I wondered whether what I was writing in 2008/2009 is still relevant today. Essentially I was asking: Where do we stand, as artists, within the UK economy? How do we relate […]
Lunch is a good time for meetings. I had been introduced to Melle Smets http://www.mellesmets.nl (he rents one the apartments in the building from SidM) at the Neverland Cinema so over lunch I chatted to him to find out more about his work. […]
