Stepping stones!

In between my hectic lifestyle of making this:

And cycling here (meant to be Leeds - York but in actual fact we found satisfaction in a reaching this sign instead - 5 postcodes away from our starting point...)

I have surprisingly (some may say) still managed to start on my new project: 

LIFE IS YOUR PLAYGROUND

And these are pictures of the 3D letters coming together! 

Think the view into the insides is for some reason quite exciting!! I will have to eventually have to seal this up!

Will keep updating on progress!

The Turner Prize

Having been to visit the turner prize, this video of Ian Sinclair talking about Susan Philipsz' work was interesting to watch. I personally, found Philipsz' work to be less exciting than I had expected, the room in The Tate Turner Prize exhibit I thought was a bit barren and lacking emotion. But perhaps this was the intention - as Sinclair discusses - how the urban space influences the impact of her voice and how it connects to what she is singing about and the history she explores.

The singular voice with the echoing acoustics of both the recordings and the surroundings she chooses makes her  work much more eerie and as Ian Sinclair discusses, creates a clear undertone of Life Vs Death, plus a feeling of emptiness and evoking ghost like memories of Medieval London.

Worth a visit?

This online shop looks like a great place for crafty, imaginative presents! Any birthdays coming up?!

My work in the exhibition held in the university studios - December 2010

Other work and photos from the exhibition:

More of the wonderful Neto!

This man is bonkers!! His work is illusive and beautiful, I want to BE there and STAY there!

A new generation of art!

A new system of people watching! What I think it great about this kind of art is observing how members of the public deal or react to it.

Curator comments ont he movement towards "Defining the art work by the presence of the visitor or spectator"

What is sculpture? How does scultpure function?

So for you - what is art? Is this art??

I would argue that this may be the most explorative type of art. It explores society and culture and opens up the mind to endless possiblities. This is the struggle to revert humans to the nature of PLAY.

It takes a certain type of personality to try this kind of thing out! Lighten up, play out - bring it on!

Would snow make a good sculpture?

DEFINITELY!
