I won the Gold Award in the Book Category for "Helianthus" at the Images 35 competition - the exhibition is still up until tomorrow at the Bankside Gallery in London before it goes on a tour to some other places in the UK.

And another big thanks!

2010-12-10T06:21:00.000-08:00

...to everybody who came to the opening at the Frame Creative Gallery last weekend. These two guys seemed to be everybody's favourite of my pictures, that's why I am posting them here.The exhibition is still on for another two weeks.

...and finally

2010-11-30T09:16:00.000-08:00

...the response images to the responses. Somebody wrote a text about a panda bear and a child (?)left a tiny drawing of a dwarf. I used these creatures as a starting point for these three pictures. I am also going to show them, together with a range of other works, at the Frame Creative Gallery in Edinburgh. The exhibition starts this Friday and will run throughout December. More information can be found at www.framecreative.com

...and some more responses

A big THANK YOU

2010-10-30T06:58:00.000-07:00

...to everyone who came to the Hidden Door Festival last weekend and left their responses to "Impossible Offspring" with texts and drawings. I had a small glimpse into the orange letterbox this morning and will post some of the results soon.
And again a big big THANKS to Janie for doing this project with me and to Sylwia and Haruka who gave so much of their free time to help me to set up the show.

Hidden Door Festival

I am taking part in the second Hidden Door Festival on the 22nd, 23rd and 24th of October in the Roxy Art Center in Edinburgh. I have collaborated again with the writer Jane McKie and together we have produced a whole new set of images and poems. We are really excited now to show them in two weeks. The festival is going to be a great, great, great event and we are planning an audience participation part for our little exhibition. So please come along and share all your brilliant ideas with us!!! Tickets and all other info can be found at www.hiddendoor.org

Collaboration

2010-09-28T06:06:00.000-07:00

Thanks again to my friend Haruka, who made this wonderful tiny pair of shoes for me! I made these two birds for her in turn. I really enjoyed it and I hope we can do more and more ambitious projects together. And who knows, we might even find a place to exhibit them - ideas, suggestions?

Collage Sketches

2010-03-31T07:35:00.000-07:00

I finally managed to fix my digital camera - a wonderful toy for a collage addict! I'm playing with bits of paper, prints, photocopies, bubble wrap, fabric, wool, wire, feathers, needles, nails, pebbles, twigs, leaves, flowers, plastic, tracing paper, screws and shells without ever sticking anything down.

A character who was born out of the clutter on my desk and has grown into a (very little) story. It might get bigger...

Butt the hoopoe

2010-02-06T14:40:00.000-08:00

Collage Characters

2009-12-09T09:05:00.000-08:00

"Collage Characters" is the perfect image to start this blog - a group of little creatures who I might develop into the heroes of future stories. Who is the shy one, the chaotic one, the philosopher, the musician, the poet, the geek, the scientist, the chatty one with the crazy ideas?
