I'd been saving my new work to launch my new look exciting website, however it is taking a little longer than planned... as way of an apology here is what I am up to at this very moment!
Double bill! exhibition
Sunday 21st - Saturday 27th July 13:00
- 17:00 2013
The Artworks project space at
The Barbican Art Trust Studios, Blackhorse Lane will combine elements of
exhibition and workshop to create a week long exploration of how we use, share
and occupy space.
The show will consist of
participatory sculptural installation. I will be present and making new work in response to workshops and discussions
throughout the exhibition. Please come along to talk, make, share!
i made a tool to measure space
The objects consist of different coloured fabric
sections which refer to Edward T Hall's proximity space: In his theory 18"
= Intimate space, 48” = Personal space, 144” = social space & 300” = public
space. It explores the idea of Hall’s definitive and definite rule, how it
works in reality and how it can be used to define/redefine our own space.
It is constructed with a Brechtian philosophy in
mind and attempts to physically manifest the absurdity of theories used to
manage and understand society. It is an exploration the societal notions and
expectations of how we occupy spaces and gives a means to play in this arena.
i am surrounded by objects that define me

This project follows an earlier body of work
"some even grew rich and became the object of their neighbours envy"
and continues to explore status and the notion of aspirational objects.
This is first event in a year-long project
researching making, sharing and subsequent archiving.
