New look for the Studio... new era for me!

 

 So... I had the last class with my lovely students a couple of weeks ago. Oh, it has been great watching them all develop their confidence and expression, but now it's time to part - I need to have my studio to myself to move my own work on.

I like to work thematically, often in paint, or other mixed media or charcol, but I like making little videos and also time based pieces.

For a few years now, I have been developing my "Aquarium of Dreams" project. Gathering ideas and filming pieces. It's going to be an immersive experience... and of course I will try it out in the studio.

I also hold little pop up gigs there from time to time. So, I decided to paint the studio walls black.

 

 TAH DAH!

 It feels like being in a charcol drawing or an Anselm Kiefer painting.

You can see how this end will be a fab performance space, the audience will be at little tables, like a speakeasy.



This was how we set it up last time... 

I'll let you know how it all progresses.
