Thank you to everybody who came to see the opening of Back To Normalism @micklegatesocial in York on Friday 13th. Thanks to @stubbs_mike @wdus.art for making it happen. The opening was centred around a collaborative performance with @zonal_markings which helped create something really special, which resonated with the ghostly sculptural forms which, like all ghosts, have since disappeared. But the drawingsContinue reading “Back to Normalism opening at Micklegate Social”

2022 in art and life
First of all I’d to start by concluding that most people have found the last few years some of their hardest with little let up. I think I may have said before, COVID 19 has merely been a catalyst for the spiralling and emergence of so many things that we just cannot easily identify asContinue reading “2022 in art and life”
Reflections on aspects of A Radical Redemption
I took this post down from my social media account, as the act of sharing this specific sort of work, at that point, was more a reflection of certain self-destructive aspects that bubble up when I feel like I’m drowning in harmful emotions. The work was called ‘Monster’, and was an installation within my mostContinue reading “Reflections on aspects of A Radical Redemption”
“Reset – Back to normal”, live performance at Reset the System Manchester
I’ve never much gone into WHY I use this mask for spoken word pieces. Well, in the most simplistic way, once I put on this mask, I now feel comfortable speaking what I speak. I escape a lot of shitty feelings about my facial expressions; I was made aware at a young age that IContinue reading ““Reset – Back to normal”, live performance at Reset the System Manchester”
A Radical Redemption, video walk through
If you can tolerate my broken sentences, I’ve made an off the cuff walk through video of the exhibition.
A Radical Redemption @Bloc Projects
From what began as a good opportunity to exhibit at a decent gallery in the region, A Radical Redemption became a meticulously obsessed-over project. Having had to initially cancel, when things got a little too much, I got a new opportunity for the exhibition to go ahead in the May 2022. I’ve been producing workContinue reading “A Radical Redemption @Bloc Projects”
A Radical Redemption, new dates
I’m really glad to say that my ‘A Radical Redemption’ at Bloc Projects, Sheffield, a show I felt I had to cancel in January, is happening again; now with the dates 21 – 28 May. Thanks so much to everybody who participated to some of the earlier stages of this project, I’m pleased to sayContinue reading “A Radical Redemption, new dates”
Wall, i
Precursor: I developed ‘Wall, i’ as a film intended for exhibitions, and independent screenings, but was encouraged to make it accessible online. The work covers a series of complex contemporary issues, so whilst the film is available to share, I just politely ask people not to share clips of it out of context, as, outContinue reading “Wall, i”
