im not sure what to do for this exhibition. i havent had a lot of time to think about it, but this is no problem, sometimes fun things come out of unpreparedness. there are a couple of ideas though. perhaps a cartoon strip on large banners that cover the entire wall, floor and ceiling space. maybe strange mobiles that hang down. perhaps a painting on the floor. there may be a mention of Todd Rundgren. i have also been working on some portraits of political figures, that have reinvigorated my love of paint.i'm uncertain, though i hope this doesnt worry you. its difficult to work out how to give people a synopsis of my work without them seeing it, so im going to list a few things that have been on my mind recently to help.
t shirt designs
a black room lit only with torches, with small planes hanging from pieces of string from the ceiling.
the beautiful music i made with friends in the highlands, which was subsequently wiped from a computer, thus creating a mini myth.
song titles for song that have never been recorded like "Cathy Got Drunk" "The Glenrothes Colossus", "Physical Sympathy" "Construction Materials & Environmental Structures"
Bernard Faucon
My dad is going to Afghanistan
the difference between genuine naivety and studied amateurism
a series of films, recreating historical scenes in their actual settings, with period costume, but which are only viewed/filmed from the passenger seat of a passing car (or train)
