Last night at the Chelsea private view

As I said I would, I went to the Chelsea BA degree show last night. I wanted to see if the buzz was transferring to the work. It was quite a good show. There were some especially good sculptures there, but unfortunately the whole site was ridiculously confusing. There is no way of knowing if

Exhibition at Westminster Reference Library

Today I went to see a man called Duart at Westminster Reference Library, just behind the National Gallery. He contacted me through the Slade Degree show. They’ve asked me to put on an exhibition of sculptures and books for the length of August, which will be my first solo show. It is an ideal place for my work, it feels

Three books sold to Chelsea College Library

Chelsea College of Art and Design on Millbank have purchased a copy of ‘nth convention’, ‘Nonconformist’, and ‘Dinocerata’ for their artists’ book collection, which is one of the finest I’ve seen. Any alumni or student there can go and look at these books. As an alumni I’m especially pleased. And I must say I was

We sold a copy of Nonconformist and Parideza to the UCL library last week. They will be in the stores until a more appropriate location than the open shelves may exist, but it is a superb place to archive the work so far and, anyone who has access to these archives can request a look

the mechanical elephant parideza serendipity

Today we stood amongst other rain soaked Londoners to watch a forty foot high wooden elephant walk through Piccadilly. It was amazing, a real giant covered in liveried puppeteers. It was better than the average parade because you were given freedom of movement to follow the elephant, indeed it was a lot like a protest

Cromer

    hooray! Here is us by some beach huts (Cromer). Me on a pointy beach (Sea Pauling) where the waves criss-crossed and cancelled each other (I wanted to put film footage of this on, but I’m only allowed one technological advance a day it seems) and we mused that we’d never stood on the corner  of

Back from holiday

back from holiday we are. Norfolk was quite lovely, and surprisingly full of daffodils. Cheery daffs greeted us on every corner. Whole fields of yellow daffiness. “A?great time doing nothing.” Just sitting on beaches, playing boardgames, eating chips, me dropping the odd stitch here and there, and David flipped his way through Zizcek’s latest.
