A4 anonymous

This is a fundraiser for the Fishslab gallery. A challenge for me to make two small paintings that I hoped might sell! Thankfully they have.

Fishslab Collective at the Horsbridge Galley

 Approximately 2meters x 2meterers

We each were given an allotted space. This is how I used mine. Private view 19th July.

Moving Space

Here is my new space and the beginnings of a piece that I am working on. Defiantly not finished. It sits behind a frame which has attachments and will evolve. I cannot put things on the wall in this space so am working on the floor. There are still uncertainties about the future of the building; my old space has been filled with wood and is now transformed into an enclosed unit for business type lettings.

Tomorrow I will do some printing onto the canvas. I am also working on a piece for an MA curatorial student graduating this year at UCA. This really is interesting; the work has stemmed from communication with an artist in Indonesia. A conversation that started with a suitcase which was an obvious link for me! The deadline for this project is mid August.
Next week I have to install my work in a collective exhibition at the Horsebridge gallery in Whitstable using work that I did at UCA. If I have enough space it will be a painting and two prints. Then the following week The Fishslab gallery has a fund raising exhibition 'A4 Anonymous'. I have done two small pieces for that. It has been creative to have more than one thing on the go and reassuring that I can work post graduation.

Graduated etc.

NEWS BITES

1. GRADUATED! A FIRST IN FINE ART WITH HONOURS

HURRAH

2. The above was taken during the fabulous performance piece that was called Whitstable Sounding by   Richard Wilson for the grand finale of the Whitstable Biennale.                                                           Click on link for info:   http://www.whitstablebiennale.com/project/whitstable-sounding/   I think that they are going to make a film so watch out for it. 

3. I have just settled into a studio space - however due to changes to rate status and lease I might have to move out again!

4. I am working towards having work in a couple of local exhibitions. 

And apart from that I am trying to get my home back in order. So many course notes and artworks to sort out and then there is the housework that has been neglected this last final year of study.

Whitstable Satallite programme

Last weekend I held my satellite event. It was brilliant. Maybe not as busy as I hoped but a really nice selection of visitors and some good discussions. Something that I would like to do again. Maybe in the winter?
Use the links below to find out more about this years Satellite program. Perhaps more importantly check out the actual Biennale program. It is full of interesting and varied events.

I have to mention a side event. Whether it was planned to coincide with the Biennale I don't know but it was the official unveiling of the Brian Haw memorial bench on the beach. And would you believe it Mark Wallinger and Chester Lang the director and maker of the film War Matters were there as well as Brian Haw's children. There was a showing on the film afterwards with speeches. I really recommend this film. Of cause in true Whitstable style; barrows, bins and bicycle baskets of flowers arrived as a back drop to the event on the beach. 'Whitstable in Flower' Competition! 'flower power' I rather think that it was timed to impress!

Degree show piece

My degree piece is really difficult to photograph as it is opposite a staircase. To give an idea of scale the light over the picture is approximately 5meters high. 

It has been a very busy time. Getting business cards printed and organising an event as part of the Whitstable Biennale Satellite program which will take place the day after our Private View.  Nearly all done!

Dylan Shipton - Artist in residence

Dylan Shipton is spending time as artist in residence in Uni over the period of our degree show. It will be possible to see a collaborative work done with a group of students if you come to our Degree Show! Today a few of us went down to Limbo Arts in Margate to see how his installation Punishment Park was progressing and to discuss the installation process.
The private view for this exhibition is this Friday at Limbo.
Next week some students will aid and collaborate with Dylan in installing a shelf installation. I have made an 'object' to be included in this. (a task given to us by Dylan)

Private View at Limbo done;
Shelf installation done;
Object installed...

My pendulum installed.
