Big Day Out

 

I came across some old sewing bobbin bits in a trunk.

There was a sheet of newspaper there as well, dated 1971. Though that was when the family home moved to Pembrokeshire and I recon the bits and bobs were a fair bit older than that.

I immediately saw them as being very comparable some of my frequent doodles, normally carried out whilst relaxing with a can of beer in front of the fire and decided to build with them.

 

There follows a series of sketches, the first being the one I chose to use.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My neighbour has just sold his house and gave me a few items of furniture.

Unfortunately, most contained a fair bit of woodworm, I am currently using the unaffected bits to build with.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Underlying Art Speak

An underlying repetitive theme, explainable in the right kind of words.
 
I wrote this out on the 2nd April, in a fairly narked frame of mind, I will type it out as it went down.
It was to do with applying for a studio visit from "Turning Point" and also the application for a show at "The Bond"
Since writing it, I have received a reply from Turning Point - but unfortunately the cap still fits many people and organisations who set these projects,  jobs and opportunities up.
Non reply to applications should be sent to room 101!

The right kind of contemporary artist.
Re; Turning Point studio visit.

It seems that I don't give the right answers to/for contemporary art speak opportunities.
It seems that there is a specific way to be an artist nowadays
- holding specific views, stance and producing specific out put from a common ground, understood by "curators" trained to spot the " the right kind" of statements.

I thought that the main function of being an artist was not to come out with the right kind of answers - the right kind of readable formula - the right kind of goals and explanations.
