SQUARE PEOPLE

Here are some ideas for an installation piece I'll be putting into Solihull Gallery early next year

Hopes and Fears

This Friday (14th November) I have some work going up at the Centrespace gallery as part of the group show 'Hopes and Fears'. Other artists include Andy Council, Paul Roberts and Ben Newman. The piece I have done is in 2 parts and has been made for the lyrics of 'You Are My Sunshine'. More info at www.inkygoodness.com

The Victoria Pub

The new owners of the Victoria Pub in Brum have given the place a much needed facelift...as part of that, me and the rest of THEM LOT were asked to paint up some characters in their backroom

Dear Miss Hubbard...

As part of my ongoing project with Solihull Council, I have been visiting Primary Schools across Solihull with my BIG WOODEN ENVELOPE. The envelope is full of letters that trigger visual activities, which have led to Year 6 students coming up with some leftfield ideas. All the work will be exhibited at Solihull Gallery in March, along with my own show on the theme of the unopened letter.

BIGGER THAN BARRY

THEM LOT were down at the Rainbow Warehouse on Saturday night raving it up at BIGGER THAN BARRY. We had a barber in our room, so we turned it into a big barber shop...cheers to everyone who came to support us

GIANT ENVELOPE

For the last few weeks I have been working on an education project with Solihull Gallery. The work is based around an unopened envelope from 1970 (see previous post for more work). I have created a giant wooden version of the envelope that is full of sealed replica envelopes. Inside the envelopes are letters that I have written, that explore what could be inside the sealed package. These letters are the starting point of educational activities for school kids.

The kids will be making their own interpretations of what could be inside the package by writing some of their own letters. These letters will be posted to a number of artists who have agreed to get involved in the project. These include Si Peplow, Ben Javens, David Shillinglaw, Newso, and Sarah Coulston, amongst others.
