Flaxon Ptootch private view - 12th July

Kentish town private view went down a treat for those who visited - art, free cocktails and a couple of very peculiar performances.. nothing an artist likes more!! We are exhibiting in the space until the 7th of August so if you didn't get the chance to pop by on Thursday, theres still time!

Paper Jukebox - Bath TIME exhibition

So our 'Time' exhibition at Fringe Arts Bath Festival seemed to go down pretty well... My blogging of this event has been horrendous, so here is a link to a decent one!  Shown above is what I exhibited. The series of images shows the rather perplexing concept of 'Entropy' but with a slightly more comprehendible and summery twist..


Entropy: The inevitable and steady deterioration of a system or society.

Cuded review!

Just came across a nice little review on Cuded.com :)

Dirty White Everything

Dirty White Everything

The worst thing you ever did

was to make me feel self conscious

about the scar on my left arm.

As if someone had told me 

my favourite clothes

didn’t suit me.

Or my over rehearsed dinner party anecdote

wasn’t funny.

I can only imagine you now

covered in blood, 

looking like you fell out of purgatory. 

Dirty white everything,

dull as prescription drugs.

They tell me I fall in love too easily.

Sharing beds with conveyor-belt idiots,

breathing like two junkies

into each other.

But I have held him sober,

and seem to be the only one who knows,

man never really set foot on the moon

unless he took off his boot

and felt it between his toes. 

(Dirty White Everything unashamedly throws the situation of moving from one relationship quickly onto the next into a bright light and supports a 'no regrets' attitude to falling in love too easily.)

Florence and the machine's secret 7"

I'm taking part in a competition to have my artwork made into a 7" vinyl for one of Florence and the machine's (one of my faaaave musicians) singles. If I get through to the final 45, the 7" vinyl that I designed will be exhibited in London and sold at a charity auction raising money for the teenage cancer trust. I will also receive a signed copy for myself! Too good to be true.... I even did my final degree work on her, so this would, as cliche as it sounds, be a dream come true!!

So please pleeeease help me raise money for this great cause by voting for my artwork.

Florence And The Machine competition entry

Please pleeeease support me here - voting opens Friday!

Artwork inspired by the song 'Only If For A Night' by Florence And The Machine.

I believe the song to be written about past loved ones, and how they still live on in your memory and dreams. I want to portray the overwhelming presence of someone Florence experiences in the song. Although this person may have died a long time ago, she can speak to them in her dreams as clear as if they are alive.

The funeral wreath signifies the death of the loved one, and the protagonist reaching past demonstrates her defying the obstacle of death, and communicating with this person on another level, whether it be in her dreams, spiritually or just through her memory. 

Her expression shows her getting lost in the surreal and extraordinary moment. 

Created using, pencil, ink and Photoshop.
