Works of 2017

I’ve gone back to study this year. After years of wrangling over whether to go back or not, I finally decided that I had nothing to lose by doing so. Additionally, it has enabled me to have a bit more thinking space, away from working 5 days a week. Because no matter what job youContinue reading “Works of 2017”

The Eternal Blip (A Mary Celeste Decade) and other works in progress

I’m really in a work-in-progress point at the moment. I’ve got a bit more time, because I’m doing a part-time Masters, and working less hours. Getting into more debt by taking a loan and returning to further develop my art may seem like a foolish move to some, but with working five days a weekContinue reading “The Eternal Blip (A Mary Celeste Decade) and other works in progress”

‘Will The Last Person To Leave The 20 Century Please Turn out The Lights?’

First and foremost for anybody who has never heard of Baildon (mainly people south of Wakefield), just think ‘2 miles north of the World Heritage Site, Saltaire. I’m really looking forward to this event. To be honest it’s our first proper outing as a collective.

Fighting for Crumbs, at The World Transformed, Liverpool I was very pleased to be invited to exhibit at The World Transformed, a 4 day festival hosted by Momentum as The Labour Party held their conference, and the leadership election results were announced, in the very same city. It felt great to be taking our exhibition project ‘Fighting ForContinue reading

This is our video documentary, crafted and produced by Connor Matheson/DEADIDEA Productions. It accompanied our recent exhibition. Please take a look. Thank you for everybody who contributed to our crowdfunder earlier in the year.

Fighting For Crumbs – a Virtual Tour

We were all really pleased with how the works played off one another; a coherence of many preoccupations that made up the reasons for having this exhibition which addressed political pessimism, the age of disbelief, austerity and the overlooked areas of the UK. Whilst John Wilkinson’s paintings addressed the damage done both by once worker-hungryContinue reading “Fighting For Crumbs – a Virtual Tour”
