20 x 20 2014 exhibition.
I went along to the 20 x 20 exhibition, Access Space Network Sidney St, Sheffield, South Yorkshire
Some highlights from the exhibition. Hover over the slides for more details.
Spelunking in the cave of paint
I finally got to clamber back in to my paint cave today. Two weeks off from painting and I was going feral. I mean it. I love my kids but two weeks of constant child care and no painting was too much. I had a blast painting. I was manically happy by the end.
Selfie OverWritten by circles, (WIP) oil on board, x cm x xcm
I the reason I have so many works in progress is because I like to work on a LOT of ideas at once. These are a few of the works I've been daubing today.
Curling Union, Oil on canvas paper. 14" x 10"
The title Curling Union will change maybe. I've got more layers to add and more details like lines.
Conway's Loose Life, (WIP) Oil on canvas, 80 cm x 60 cm
The image below is part of my Pattern Recognition series. The binary background in is from the hexadecimal information from a photograph of my lovely visage. I've used the binary to seed for a very loose version of Conway's Game of life
My next project.
I'll have an extra day of studio time soon and thats made me take stock of what I'm doing.
Creating the Procedural Paintings is fun. I love it, but it leaves no real avenue for me to express myself as they are randomly generated. I've decided to go back to my landscapes and see how my approach has changed.
It's a short blog post because I'm off to bed and that is a bad time to start questioning things too deeply. Night and stay human-ish.
Throw back friday
I meant to post a different post, but I've had a weird week. I don't know if I was just burnt out or what. I spent all week being unreasonably, unfeasibly angry. I don't know why. That's all gone now, I think. Any way I feel stupid and odd for posting this.
The image below is Greenscape and it seems to be getting a lot of love on my Facebook page. I hope you like it. It's not angry at all. In fact I find it quite serene.
Greenscape, Oil on canvas, 31.5" x 23.6"
Semi abstract of a forest in Sheffield. Part of my '...Scapes' series. Framed.
Stuff and Guff
Soundcloud is where I put my sonic dreams. When I make them.
