A peek at Espacio

A quick peek at the Free Painters and Sculptors show opening tomorrow night 9th May at the Espacio Gallery. There is some stunning work on show, a real mix of paper based work. I am showing the coloured paper sculpture that I have been busy spraying over the last few days and I am so chuffed with the results.

spray can RSI

I think I have RSI from spending today shaking spray cans and then holding down the nozzle and with hindsight I probably should have gone down to the graffiti chaps on the Southbank to get them to help. Below is a small heap of coloured paper sculpture upside down drying in the sunshine. All done now for the Espacio Gallery on Thursday, see you there folks

In colour

So this is what my sculpture looks like in colour, many thanks to Adams Puryear for his ideas.

More Chelmsford

Well this is another fine time. I had the privilege of being selected for an arts fellowship in Chelmsford for this year, the AA2A award gives artists access to space, equipment and materials that they need to do a project. I have had a ball working with clay and using the forge, I now have several boxes of work waiting to be put together. I planned to use the time to create several sculptures that I could finish back in my studio at the end of the Fellowship. Only there isn't an end just yet, I have been asked to stay on for another year!! Result!!!

 these have been fired and are now bright blue 

doubts?

After my technological meltdown in America, no computer for a while and a camera that has now given up the ghost, there have been some suspicions about whether I was ever in America at all. How cruel!! Reasons cited are mostly based around my terror of climbing a step ladder, let alone getting on a 'plane, blathering on about the cold and the snow which the UK had in bucket loads and absolutely no photographic evidence at all. So was I holed up in my east London studio the whole time, keeping out of the way and working ? Or did I really go to Vermont, have a great time making sculpture?

espacio

Brilliant, I have 6 paper sculptures selected for the Free Painters and Sculptors exhibition 'Works on Paper' at the Espacio Gallery, London,  May 16th-May 21st with the private view on Thursday 9th May. These are sculptures created in paper, which for me is a fast method of trying out ideas, a very versatile medium.
