TIME TO UPDATE MY ART BLOG!

So, time flies so fast! This week i started back at the Residency in the art school and tried getting stuck in straight away with work which is going in to an exhibition in the Botanical Gardens of Wales at a date that needs to be confirmed in May. So this is my workspace at the minute. Lots of photocopies as per usual!

I'll be glad to be back in the Printmaking studio working on some plates!!

Day 1of my Residency consisted of double sided sticky taping hundreds of coloured sheets of paper to white walls ready for the open day tomorrow.

The idea is people can, on the open day, write things on these pieces of paper for them then to be on display for the duration. It a little 'Stefan Sagmeister' -esque project.

I'll also be doing Printmaking demos all day of my etching plates. Quite excited!

'Public Relations' book launch at the National Museum, Cardiff

Public Relations:

Dan Holdsworth / Martin Parr / Sarah Pickering / Paul Shambroom

Safle - Public Art Wales & St Davids2. 2012

Curated and edited by Russell Roberts & Emma Price Public Relations is a series of four commissions that explore different pulses of Cardiff and its urban sprawl in response to the building of the St Davids2 shopping centre. Each of the artists/photographers involved - Dan Holdsworth, Martin Parr, Sarah Pickering and Paul Shambroom – have been drawn to range of situations loaded with the historical weight of the City, its sites of memory, myth, future fantasies, community lives and other expressions of belonging and citizenship. Public Relations exists as a limited edition book-work consisting of posters and newspapers; it offers four alternative accounts of a city at a particular moment animated by increased consumption.

 I will be selling this limited edition publication at the National Museum Cardiff tomorrow. Come along and get yourself a copy!

Tomorrow i will have a stall selling work and showing my process at Gwdihw in Cardiff! Local art and local Music :)
