Thank you @julie_caves for visiting me in the stud Thank you @julie_caves for visiting me in the studio this morning. Great to talk about what we want the paintings we make to do and achieve. Thanks for helping me with methods to focus on what I want particular artworks to do when there are so many directions a painting can evolve towards. #thanetartists #kentartists #studiovisit #artprocess
Delighted to announce FIGURINGS OF THE REAL - an e Delighted to announce FIGURINGS OF THE REAL - an exhibition of work featuring Andrew McDonald @andjmcdonald Thomasina Smith @thomasina.smith and myself @mswiftyart The work I’m contributing to this exhibition at Safehouse 1, Peckham @maverickprojects is inspired by airbases and ancient forests of Suffolk. A residency @asylumstudiosuk supported the development of ideas and processes to make work for Figurings of the Real. Walking through these landscapes helped me explore themes around hyper-sensitivity, masculinity and possibilities of latent spirituality. #masculinityinart #hairyart #spiritualart #collageexperiments
