She’s gone…to Aarhus. The very nice freight man turned up early, which was great. He had an enormous truck, he had intended to collect another piece in Copenhagen but couldn’t actually get into the place so had plenty of […]
The day before the sculpture is freighted to Aarhus. I borrowed Charlotte’s car again and went over to Roskilde for the first time since finishing work last Tuesday. I knew that Lars and Mikkel were planning to prep the […]
So as my last post hinted, we recently launched our first show in the new space. Examines materiality and the affect different materials and stimuli can have on our senses, whether this be positive or negative. It features the work […]
Visual blog documenting the ‘real-lifestyle’ of the home and beyond…
After two weeks to stew over the election result (a one which I sadly predicted) I cannot see the new Tory Government placing the ‘arts’ top of it’s agenda. In fact, I would doubt it is even on the footnotes of […]
Well I had to post this morning as I am ridiculously happy. I had known that the marks for the first year of my MA were due in soon and being someone who always worries I was not looking forward […]
Last Friday’s preview was a mix of great company alongside a compelling display of ‘New Generation Landscape Art’ allowing viewers to explore the complexities of interpreting landscape and the world we live in. My new solo show ‘A Question of […]
A trip to Leeds last week proved absolutely exhilarating with such a wide selection of amazing art particularly The Tetley’s new exhibition ‘Painting in Time’.
I have not written for a really long time and this is because it has been an incredibly manic month. Our new temporary contemporary gallery has now opened in Fareham. It’s quite a big deal for us as it is […]
I was so blasted after Saturday that I couldn’t even write a blog post on my way home. It wasn’t hugely eventful, but I did (almost..just one coat on one side of one panel left to go) finish undercoating. […]
AUDIOBLOG – Please click here Yawn! (That’s tired rather than bored!) I feel I should blog about it… but quite weary! I’m just going to say that live music works well in the gallery. I will be organising […]
My first solo show will take place at the cool Bankley Gallery in Levenshulme, Manchester (in-between the city centre & Didsbury). With its Preview on Fri 15th May & opening on Saturdays 11-5pm until 30th May.
The piece im creating at the moment is a 3D wall mounted piece made out of ceramics. This piece strives to show the idea of “one mans rubbish is another mans gold” and focuses on the issues of disposable objects […]
Another long day, nearly thirteen hours all in all, but I did at least achieve the main goal which was to graphite and glaze the rear of the three wing panels. This should be a relief, and initially it was, […]
When I was a small child just starting school we used to have Friday afternoons off, until they decided to increase productivity… Today felt like that as I skipped out of the studio at 1.30pm to go and collect Zach. […]
I like this bag, which is for rubbish, on the Danish trains. It reads: Rubbish in the bag. Bag in the hand. Hand on the heart. Where will it end? On the platform. In the rubbish bin. Thanks. Sometimes I […]
AUDIOBLOG – Please click here It doesn’t take me long to bounce back… Collaboration then…. It’s a thing I do, and I love it. In the early days, I had an couple of failed attempts, because I didn’t understand. […]
I have collaborated with many people over the years – some more successfuly than others. Some on my side of the table and some on the other. The experience has ranged from the perfunctory, task oriented pooling of knowledge and […]
