The Inspirations So Far

Inspire 52 is going well. It is really giving me a chance to really focus on my expression for the week and is feeding my creative soul.

The latest publications include:

Inspire 52 - Week 5. A Toast to Nourishment. This week is in response to a collaborative and artistic rendez-vous in Somerset.


Inspire 52 - Week 4. Finding The Dragon. This week I try to find a Dragon and get Burnt!



Face it Pierrot! is Week 3 of Inspire 52 ... this week was quite a surprise for me! It explores characterisation and identity. This is also a very personal piece for me and illustrates a particular time in my life and journey so far.

This month I feature in Dorset Magazine. Writer Jeremy Miles and Photographer Hattie Miles came to The Monochronium in October 2011 to interview me and find out more about my recent work and artist collaborations for my 'Andy Warhol Factory' style developmental exhibition.

New Collaboration with Miss Potter

This week Hayley Potter and I headed into the woods for an inky beginning to our new artistic collaboration.

Hayley has been one of The Bookshelf artists and performed for the live art piece twice now, and that is how we met. She was also an active participating illustrator during The Monochronium last October and Through working together we realised that our art practices have many cross overs and thought it would be great to collaborate.

We both like black ink and being in the woods, and we thought that this was a great place to start, so here are some images of what we did.

                                                                                                                                                        







We don't know where it is all going at the moment (of course we have some ideas) but we are enjoying the organic growth of working on a new project together. I will showcase our collaboration during my next exhibition at Lighthouse Poole this Summer as well as blog updates to show the progress of our work, so keep posted!

Brilliant!

I just found out today that I will be creating a new work of art for Brilliance, the new emerging light festival in Poole. I am delighted with this as it is a new local project in association with Poole Arts Development and will hopefully grow over the coming years to be a well-established festival.

Here's a little peak at my plans for the piece I will be creating in collaboration with a Florist.
