my life at the moment is school. when i'm not at school getting frustrated by it or frustrated by non productivity i'm at home being frustrated by it and it's non productivity.
ironically, this is my laser cutting template for part of my project. it took a couple of days to arrange on the page. and it's not even important really. such is school. and progress.

Interviewer: Why can’t you be alone without Yoko?

John Lennon: But I can be alone without Yoko, but I just have no wish to be. There’s no reason on earth why I should be alone without Yoko. There’s nothing more important than our relationship, nothing. And we dig being together all the time. Both of us could survive apart but what for? I’m not going to sacrifice love, real love for any whore or any friend or any business, because in the end you’re alone at night and neither of us want to be. And you can’t fill a bed with groupies. It doesn’t work. I don’t want to be a swinger. I’ve been through it all and nothing works better than to have someone you love hold you.

today i met and assisted a fantastic artist in her preparation for her opening tonight at kudos gallery. margaret roberts' works were a journey and experimentation within the convergent realms of drawing and sculpture. being architectonic in the realization, taped marks placed on display walls that are commonly used within an exhibition format are converted into monumental sculptures and are given a further dimensionality, forming direct relationship with the building which they inhabit.

i love my blackbird fly!

dear melissa's first sell out group exhibition at verge gallery!

'feeding'

'the flight'

'blown away'

'hey babe' 1 to 4

all works are mixed media, sewn and collaged, mounted in deep shadow box frames (apologies for the quality of graphic resolution)

it was a pretty special experience to sell out so many pieces! the next series of work is in the pipeline...

i don't want to spoil the surprise, but keep tuned for some work of a similar aesthetic with a less literal and graphic style as dear melissa explores the boundaries of her new stylistic track!
