Collage crisis
Settling back down into work and focusing on my collage stuff. I'm hoping to use this technique to pull a few ideas together, namely the thought maps, surrealist photography, found objects, and psychoanalytic/linguistic theory. Initially the collage work was created in response to a brief fro Temple Works using old Kays catalogues as inspiration and material, but now the focus has shifted slightly to incorporate Freudian object theory, fetishism and the Manufacture of Consent - a driving force of Capitalism. Need to do a bit more reading and research, starting with Adam Curtis' Century of the Self

....and relax
Been crazy busy lately as usual with solo shows, group shows, new ventures, Light Night, etc. Got a few projects ongoing but things actually feel more relaxed given that I don't have 3 deadlines in the same week! The Tate project is going well and just finished working with an artist from London, Faisal Abdu'allah, who is a fantastic photographer and has recently been commissioned by Christian Boltanski, no less! There's also plans in the pipeline to go to Tel Aviv and New York which is very exciting! Less deadlines and more space for thinking inevitably seems to lead to more ideas tho which is good but frustrating cos I want to make all of them. W
