Currently in a group exhibition in SlackSpace Gallery in Colchester on the Local Area, it quite exciting to be exhibiting again, i was a little disappointed with my frames but happy with the images.
Heres the details if you fancy it :

There is also the amazing work of James Dodds in there too, local artist making linocuts of the eastern coastline.

Im hoping it goes well, and maybe I can get started on more new projects.

Bing!

Ideas are a flowing after the current flurry of snow and cold winter nights wrapped up with blanket and notebook.
I want to go back to a previous project which looks at unseen street sculptures, tiny or large objects that form intriguing compostions in thier natural or sometimes urban environment.
As always I want to research research research! Ive started with a few favourites for mudane but imaginative compositions from Richard Wentworth and Wolfgang Tillmans. I would love to find something new here, an inbetween.

Heres my current inspirations for today, mostly photography based opps.

Richard Wentworths 'Untitled'



Wolfgang Tillmans 'Untitled'



And some of my favourites from flickr and etsy:

Ideas.

I have'nt really posted much lately, my temp job has caused severe exhausion! Cant do much else except eat and sleep.

But I have been inspired by my quiet walk to work every morning, the air is frosty and tiny lights sparkle from street lights along the road. Ive noticed more plant life merging with the hard concrete of the town and beautifully bold blue skies peaking out from the subway walls.

Hopefully once ive finshed this job I can concentrate on this idea and get my photographs up. I cant wait to get back to some creatvie ideas buzzing, waiting for my negatives to deveolp and spending ages getting my etsy shop stocked!

So, I want to review some previous work I did in Cardiff commuting to my old work.
I wanted to turn chewing gum covered pavement into a starry sky.
