It's been a long time since the last update but lots has been going on. In February this year i started studying a Master Degree in Fine Art with the OCA. This has not only been taking up a lot of time but it has also brought about some new ideas and pieces. Have a look in the galleries to see some new pieces.
I have been asked to submit to a members exhibition at the ArtHouse inWakefield. They will be photographs of the benches and will be on show from 27th July 2011. More information to come.

I was recently asked to be involved in an exhibition in Wimbledon titled 'One night stand'. An article chosen by the curator Diana Ali caled Atoms and Nuclei by H.A. Bethe was sent to me. My task was to reinterpret this article and form a representation or characteristic of the city or country i am in. I am currently in Barnsley, South Yorkshire which has a rich coal mining history. Using a found piece of coal on site at the old coliery i scrawled Diamonds are forever into the brickwork and this was the result!

The exhibition takes place for one night only at Wimbledon College of Arts on Monday 14th April, 6pm til 9pm.
The exhibition will be returning to Sheffield in the near future, i will keep you informed. This exhibition is provided by the Sheffield Hallam Curators Forum.

I have just been selected to exhibit at the Arthouse's new studio space in Wakefield. The arthouse are a unique national membership organisation for visual artists. They do a lot of network providing, professional training and development and opportunities for artists to make quality work through residencies, exhibitions and projects. The exhibition will run from May to July, dates to be confirmed. My initial proposal is to show a documentary piece showing the degredation of the giant sugar cube. http://www.the-arthouse.org.uk

I have two of my photographs published in this months (january) Barnsley Eye magazine. This is a free local magazine focussing on what happens in and around barnsley. They do have a website which is currently under conmstruction. Here's the link anyway: http://barnsleyeye.co.uk/
There is still work going on! Even though i have been tied up with other things recently, it's still bubbling away in the background. The photo's of the dissolving sugar cubes are to be printed in photo quality onto sugar sachets which will contain fair trade sugar. These will befor use within possible cafe's and restaurants and for exhibition also. Here's a taster image, it is only a sample and still has work to be done.

The sugar cube has gradually been dissolving away, and it has now almost gone, just a few patches in the ground now. Here are a couple of pictures.

Welcome to yet another new look to the site. I really didn't like the previous design and as there has been some background admin changes to the site i thought it would be nice to start a fresh again.
Having just finished my BA in Fine Art i am now going on to study a PGCE at Huddersfield University whilst still continuing to create artworks for a couple of exhibitions lined up for this year.
I am currently thinking about my next exhibition, its in very early talks at the minute, i have no idea what i will produce or where it will be yet, but i will continue to work.
Sweet Harmony No.2 has almost evolved into another piece, the huge sugar cube is currently sat at the end of my garden slowly dissolving away with each rain shower, and being gently worn away by the hundreds of wasps and flies feeding from it. It currently looks like this:
