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

Your Uncannily Magical Live Art Comedy Experience

Sunday, April 11th, 2010

I have been working with Elizabeth Willow to make a set for some upcoming comedy/performance art nights at The Bluecoat in Liverpool. The first is April 15th and they will be monthly until July. Set in Vinny’s Flat, they describe the evening…

“Amidst layers of domestic chaos your hosts serve up the leftovers of a promising relationship punctuated by the uncanny intrusion of some half invited special guests: Drunken Chorus pioneer the solo double act, Caroline Wilson offers her existential ‘But I just want to fall in love and work with elephants’, and Julian Fox will do something extraordinary.”

The Bluecoat’s website seems to be playing up, so here is the event on Facebook.
