‘A House Like Me’ book launch

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

Last Friday was the launch at of ‘A House Like Me’ at Yorkshire Sculpture Park. The event was to mark the end of my year as bursary holder for the Feiweles Trust at the Park. I have compiled the book and it is a mix of digital printing with screen printed dividers.

It was a lovely day and great to get some feedback on this thing that has been filling my house with piles of paper for weeks.

‘A House Like Me’  is intended for educators wanting to work with conceptual art and is based around the themes in my own practice and the projects I have been doing in schools since last September. The book is not for sale, but a pdf version will be online soon, I will post a link as soon as it’s available. Some images can be viewed in the bookworks section on this website.

A House Like Me – Feiweles Trust Bursary at Yorkshire Sculpture Park

ISBN 978-1-871480-85-6, Yorkshire Sulpture Park, 2010. Digital print on paper with screenprinted, card dividers. Digital printed folder.

Shows, books and the summer.

Friday, July 2nd, 2010

Just a reminder that the Liverpool Art Prize is only on for one more week, so do go and see it if you can – I’m not sure whether the work will be kept afterwards as it is just so big.

A few projects are being plotted at the moment, but I am currently busy finishing my year as bursary holder at Yorkshire Sculpture Park. I am making a limited edition book to mark the end of the year, so next week will be full of paper cuts and swear words.

The end of July and August are marked for the studio and some small projects, so looking forward to getting cracking on some new work.

Slow Magic

Sunday, June 6th, 2010

I am currently working on a small bookwork, a collaboration of sorts with Nathan Jones, who has been Poet-in-residence at the Bluecoat in Liverpool over the past year. The piece contains his poem, Slow Magic, written about the experience of looking around an exhibition (one of the same name held at the Bluecoat).

Based on a Turkish map fold, the multiple has a screen-printed grey board cover and unfolds, revealing the poem slowly, the creases of the paper acting as illustrations. It’s still very much under-construction (printing tomorrow) but will be available in a limited editon.

The work will be part of

Sheep at YSP

Working hard in Yorkshire for the next few weeks. I am the Feiweles Trust Bursary Holder at Yorkshire Sculpture Park for 09/10 and so will be spending a lot of time on the M62 between now and next July. Some of the work is in schools so have been having a great time building all sorts of amazing architectural self-portraits with the children. I am also very tired, but preparing stuff to print for the Fourth Manchester Artists’ Book Fair on Saturday 7th November. Come and see me there if you can!

Summer

Friday, June 26th, 2009

The book fair went really well and great to meet some new faces, especially Simon Goode (and his beautiful letterpressed book) as well as Unrealised Projects and their really interesting work.

Now I am waiting on some decisions to decide my summer months for me, generally planning plenty of studio time and preparation for the Yorkshire Sculpture Park project, which starts in September.

Some atrocious phtoos of the book fair from my mobile phone attached.

Recent events

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

I did a couple of talks during April. The first as part of a panel discussing Artists’ Books at IMT Gallery in London, and the second at an AIR Open Dialogues event at Castlefield Gallery in Manchester.  Both really interesting events and opportunities to meet some great people and exchange ideas.
