DRAWING - Baguette

I was asked to produce a line drawing of a baguette for the new batch of workshops... "Matisse couldn't have produced a better line drawing" said our director Stuart Cameron. I'm sure Matisse could have produced better spelling however!

STUDIO - Photographing Work


Spent the morning in the photography studio at Harrogate College, trying to get better photos of some of my work. It was good fun and I seem to have become a little distracted with some of the props lying around. This reminded me that I should get back to playing around with photographing different ceramic & mixed media set ups a little bit more often... I'll be back in after the Easter holidays with lots more of my work.

WORK IN PROGRESS - A Response to a Response to a Response

I've decided to make a new piece of work which is a response to a piece of work that I created in late 2009. 'The Death of Sainsburys' (part of my Trilogy of Death series) was one of my contemporary responses to the historical Staffordshire piece 'The Death of Munrow', which in turn was a response to the V&A's acquisition of 'Tipoos Tiger'. This new creation is a response to current news stories... Can you tell what it is yet? A bit more tweaking on Monday and then I'll dissect it up and make plaster moulds of the parts.
