Private View Proof

Last night was the CSM BA Fine Art Degree show. It was awesome. Not only was I blown away by the quality of the work, but my fabulous mother was in attendance. After the post-show party at Foundation bar in Covent Garden, we ended the night dancing our faces off at the Joiners Arms. Pretty sure I turned a gay man straight. My dress was that hot. Arting is super duper fun!

The show runs until June 23, 12-8. Also, pretty sure the last photo of my Mum and John is THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN!

Degree Show Preview, Lucky You

My practice involves working extensively with the archive. For my degree  show project, I am creating an archive of the varied experiences of a  Death of a Man. In this case the man was my father. By working with  archival footage, non-archival footage, photographs, drawings,  interviews with family members and psychic readings, I am attempting to  understand an event which is impossible to understand - a suicide.

Degree Show, What What!

My Degree show opens tomorrow. Holey Moley. It's hard to believe that three years of hard work has FINALLY come to fruition. I feel happy, sad, excited, depressed, tired, giddy and a wee bit maniacal. But really and truly, I have a feeling it is gonna be a WICKED show. Yay us.

June 1 was the last day we installed our work. We celebrated mightily. Here are some photos of people I love.

 Here is the invite with all the info. The private view is invite only, but come Friday, any old Tom Dick or Harry can show their face. So you should! 

Also. We have an online catalogue. Do take a look.

Look to the Cookie

Osama bin Laden's death has given every racist SOB a chance to protest thoughtlessly and breed hatred in this country and around the world, and given religious fanatics a new fire in their belly.

If only we had listened to Jerry.

True Love, Royally

If only Will and Kate were this hilarious and charming, I might actually give a shit.

Mogwai are a band from Scotland. They are awesome. They recently played a gig at Hoxton Bar and Kitchen, which I unfortunately missed. And so did you (probably). Watch this vid to find out what we weren't lucky enough to see.
