A REVIEW OF MY ART@ HEARTBEAT GALLERY: Nick Birkhead
http://heartbeatgallery.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/john-ledger-cycle-of-destruction-dating.html By Nick Birkhead I suggest that Ledger’s work owes something to the fantastical Hieronymus Bosch (1450-1516). Specifically, the Garden of Earthly Delights comes to mind, with its lush depiction of organic sin. The world famous and brilliant forerunner of surrealism was, in his day, unique and radically different. Today Bosch’s work could not beContinue reading “A REVIEW OF MY ART@ HEARTBEAT GALLERY: Nick Birkhead”

“I wanted to know the exact dimensions of hell”
Why Eating disorders are caused by the totality of global capitalism, not just advertising The distorted perception of my body that occurs often when I catch a glimpse of my image reflection in a window, always drags me backwards, drags me toward my teenage years; the existential fears of those years. Once here I amContinue reading ““I wanted to know the exact dimensions of hell””

Yet to anyone who who isn’t just passing by they know that this structure has been in its current form for nearly 4 years.Its skeletal stateContinue reading “Ghosts”
The Quintessential Young Person-alienation That Now Carries on Into Later Life
Do you feel like an angst-ridden teenager at 28? Which no confirmation of true age, when confronted with an ever-more aging face staring back at you from every reflection, can eradicate? With the ever-mounting pressure to remain young, to be hip, adventurous and to be eternally striving to advance oneself and be ‘living’ the highContinue reading “The Quintessential Young Person-alienation That Now Carries on Into Later Life”
Who Would Want To Listen To This?
Who Would Want To Listen To This? (2011/2012) Biro on paper, 130X100cm The piece is called ‘Who would want listen to this?’ because such big threats of an ecological collapse which would cause unimaginable disruption and destruction are often too frightening for us to think about (only previously seen by our eyes on cinema screens),Continue reading “Who Would Want To Listen To This?”
2012: Dedicated to all humans
I used to find In Rainbows the most difficult album to listen to by Radiohead. Not because I found it a worse album than the rest of the (post Pablo honey) albums, just because there was something I found deeply uncomfortable about it, a truth in it that I couldn’t/or didn’t want to acknowledge rightContinue reading “2012: Dedicated to all humans”
