The Flamenco Thief Commission

I am very sorry that I have been very slack at updating this site :-/ ... my late new
years resolution is to try and add one post a week so I will begin with this...
I was commissioned at the end of last year by a very good friend of mine, guitarist
Craig Sutton, to design his debut EP cover. The EP will be released soon and I cannot
wait to hear it and of course see my work on a CD!!!

Venice Biennale!!

I have been selected to help curator Elena Hill at the 54th International Art 
Exhibition ILLUMinazioni at the Venice Biennale! I am extremely excited about this
opportunity! We are there to invigilate and market the video and sound installation
by Sophy Rickett. This is an amazing opportunity for me to learn the business side
of the art world and to see how installations can be set up as my work is moving 
into this area. The exhibition is on from 4th June to 27th November.

Dipping and dripping paint in the studio

Dipping photographs into emulsion paint has developed from simply wiping paint 
across an image. I wanted to find a different way to use a medium to interfere with
an image. The physical act of dipping the photograph into paint is all part of the 
piece.


Experimenting with the dipping of a photograph and dripping on to the floor gave
me the idea to catch the drips with text pieces...

It's left to chance to see how much of the word remains. One word in this series
is completely covered leaving the viewer wondering what it could be. As with the 
images which are half covered and the hidden text, the viewer only receives half
the information therefore only have the story. It is up to them to complete it for
themselves.

More experiments with drips using photographs of Ghost World directed by Terry
Zwigoff.

Instead of dipping each photograph into the  same amount of paint as before,
each image is dipped in different amounts. The first has the least and the 
last is completely covered. This represents the line used from the film, the 
narrative behind the scene and the physical act of making the image disappear.

The words underneath begin to disappear from the paint dripping down.
