fabric swatch at Abakhans

I found this online on the Abakhans website and want to buy a swatch of it. I need to buy a few yards of blue and white gingham and got distracted by this piece of art.

HR@LDP

Two friends of mine curated/exhibited at an independent art gallery/space in Manchester called Lionel Dobie Gallery recentley and they curated/exhibited a show based on the archive and archiving of a space called, Lionel Dobie Gallery. It was like looking at the contents of a hard drive/USB stick if they were hard copies instead of digital files.

This was part of the exhibition...

succinct poetry in the wild

Love One Another

I took this photograph when I saw it emblazoned on the side of a church in Pendlebury and was located on the outside wall of the graveyard. I pass this spot regularly on my way to the studio and I had often though about skipping of the bus to capture it. I would like very much to own this piece of work myself.

This reminds me of the Quaker building near the town hall in Manchester that I have already photgraphed previously and think they are quite wondrous. I wonder what mosques would look like if they had phrases like this outside them.

I would like to do some work like this and I think my 'Succinct Corporate Poetry' series is akin to these public showing of information. And the sentiment of the above is quite wondrous as well, I suppose.

N.B.

Tri-Color Mon-Drian

Some newly framed pieces of work, I am working beaverishly at the moment and need to buy some more frames..

slight veering..envelopes.

Off-cuts from the envelope project.

preliminaries for screen printing

With the envelope collages and using paper as a medium, I have began to utilise the surplus from my cuttings. The collaged envelope squares project is still on but is becoming more refined now. I have been working on the project for about ten months now and have a collection of different envelope designs and now finished collages of variable dimensions.

Some of the finished collages are framed in A5, A4 and A2 sized frames that I have bought from a variety of Poundshops and Charity Shops. The Poundshop frames are quite variable in quality of course, but I have managed to buy some good ones and they are cheap and transient anyway. The Charity Shop ones are spraypainted black as I have been told that this is the 'norm'.

So, with this work becoming more focused I have reverted to a concept that I started in my Art Foundation in 2009. I take stark and succinct sentences and use these sentences as a one-sentence poem (maybe too many sentences within one sentence here but..). What I used to do was to make a minimal collage and then use the sentence/phrase as a piece of interest/title of the piece. Now, I would like to make several screenprints/risographs at A3 sized and get them framed up.

The ones that are above where collected from several items of corporate literature that I think had some poetic providence. I think, as stated, that they are quite stark and succinct and only slightly joyful. Obviously, the ones shown here where made using the raw materials, the final ones will be printed somehow.
