Spearfish Trombones.

I have a busy three weeks, an essay to do about found footage film making, a play to do some props for and exhibition in sheffield.


I shall be producing four canvases for this commision.
Simple and to the point, making them with the curators, so its all a team effort.





a mini art-exhibition looking at the myths and misconceptions surrounding self harm.
Time:Thursday, 10 December 2009 11:00
Location:Council Chamber in the Octagon Centre (Sheffield University)







The play "The Maids" by Jean Genet, has a few themes to me there's definitely evidence for the ideas of time, and surviellance and the set having a character for it self. I am working with some collegues on this, we're using Niels Moustache couch, and a lot of Knick Knacks and ornaments, clocks, i'm somehow melting them, maybe old record's or rubber casts of old  clocks, eyes for surviellance, will have an artist meeting that play is on 7th December 2009, so I'll be busy, The lamp, table and phone are key items and I'm working together on them.

I had an Interview, a very casual interview, hopefully it went ok, its for a community arts and festival company called Spearfish, Ben the nice man I spoke to, was saying he would like to get students involved more, and said if I could get a group of Interactive Arts students involved and currated an exhibit had a theme they'd oversee it and give it a budget.

I like the space, of Sound Control, could do a theme of manchester's music heritage and open it up to the class, produce works of performance, collage etc, all on the theme of music heritage.
