Answering the big question, "What Makes Salisbury?", you are invited to contribute to a creative examination of the city's life: documenting the biggest landmarks and the smallest nooks and crannies; the everyday and the extraordinary; fleeting exchanges in streets, parks and buildings; shopping, playing, working and walking.

Wow - two blog posts in one day - I am being productive!

After a morning session at the studio I have now finished my three paper hangings ready for a group exhibition at the Salisbury Arts Centre. 

If you are in Salisbury during April/May then please don’t miss this show: with five varied artists showcasing their work it will, undoubtedly be an exciting and diverse exhibition.

I have added some imagery below to show the work I will be including however, they will take on the form of a hanging and, at over 9 feet in length I hope they will make an impact in the space.

Dust On The Floor

After working so furiously on artwork it’s easy to forget the components that are swept up, left behind or discarded. I have come to realise that these elements are critical features and can, sometimes be as important as the work itself.

I’ve been working with chalks and the amount of residue dust that settles (literally everywhere!) in the studio is quite surprising. Working with strong yellows and acidic tones, alongside pure white created some interesting colour formations on the floor. Without thinking I had been walking over the dust making my own mark: creating patterns, and the obsessive in me decided to document this.

It’s easy to forget the details of life that make it more intriguing and ultimately more exciting.

I’m fascinated by the images below.....perhaps my next body of work will explore the by-products when making artwork, instead of the original piece itself.    

Next Stage of New Artwork for Exhibition @Salisbury Arts Centre

Added chalk and acidic yellows to develop the paper hangings further.

'Coexist' NEW Exhibition @Salisbury Arts Centre

Developing large scale drawings for a new exhibition at the Salisbury Arts Centre: 

18^th April – 19^th May

Projecting manipulated photographs onto large sheets of paper, then applying various mediums to create an abstracted visual representation of the original image.

All photographs have been taken and altered by myself: this is a fundamental element to the process. The particular photograph featured in the images below was taken in Salisbury near the industrial estate, to the back of the train station. 

Please return to my Blog in the running up to the exhibition as I will continually post my new developments.
