flying barbies

so as you can see there were some flying barbies- not real barbies but really flying off the treehouse gallery with a plastic bag - parachut - what a weird spelling-
it was a lot of fun, the kids loved it and were cueing up the tree to throw the barbies... it was much nicer than anticipated!
we ll do it again next time- we ll let you know
from me and the barbies, lots of love

Are u a vegeterian

Are u a vegetarian – paint, is a piece of the a-b-c-diarrhea series that I made in paint programme;
It is something of a visual diary, I just do the sketches and save it as a title that I think at the time; it is a truly satisfying way to relax and feel really good about myself, often directing the days frustrations into these paints; they only take a few seconds to make, hence the name…
They are fast and uninhibited, changes are not allowed; if I feel like changing something I make a new one, somehow developed, after I saved that one;
So are u a vegetarian is a product of this process; it shows something resembling a jump board in a swimming pool; as for the title, it may be referring to sex/ meat, as the angle can be perceived as spread legs.

Bath

Bath. Barbie- like bath, hand made bath salt.
for Olafaction exhibition in Empty Shop, Durham

John Dewey- one of the greatest pragmatist philosophers- writes in his book Art as experience:

’’the arts which today have most vitality for the average person are things he does not take to be arts: for instance, the movie, jazz music, the comic strip, etc... For the popular notion comes from a separation of art from the objects and scenes of ordinary experience, that many theorists and critics pride themselves upon holding and even elaborating’’.

I feel that this separation is false; I like the definition of art as experience, and I feel that a nice bath and a nice cup of coffee are art, and we should appreciate them as such.
