SPARE PARTS!

I have been selected to take part in this wonderful exhibition. Turning prosthetic limbs into works of art. 
25th Aug at The Rag Factory
My names wrong but that's ok. I've been billed as Charlie Tuesday Winter Gates. Charlie Tuesday Gates will do.
Here's some sculpture I made earlier  but won't be featured in the show.
 
One Step Ahead
 
Look What The Stork Brung
 
Every Time I Look Into Your Eyes I See the Future



I accidentally left my designated limb in the pub but after a successful advertising campaign I got it back.  Come see the finished piece and others at The Rag Factory, from the 25th of Aug

Plug Me In, Turn Me On

I've been banned from Facebook again.  Whoops. My mum says I need to stop. It’s like, my 5 th   time now. They keep telling me that if I do anything wrong again that’s it. Wiped off the face of the face…book. I’m a repeat offender you see. Keep publishing indecent material apparently. God knows what I was dreaming about but I woke up and the first thing I did was this. It's a collage not a metaphor. Currently living in an ex mental day care centre and I found a curious collection of informational photographs, crying out for a collage or two.  These pictures of plugs were my favourite. Plug Me In, Turn Me On BANNED After creating another masterpiece, the first person I had to tell was Facebook. It turns out that Facebook can’t handle a few pieces of paper stuck together, crafted simply with an eye for detail and glue. Facebook can handle the hideous sites devoted to woman’s breasts and arses and all manor of other shameful public shows and grotesque acts of the mor

Internet Dating

Image
 I used to be a hardcore serial internet dater on and off for about 5 years. I did them all- Plenty of Fish, Guardian Soulmates, E-Harmony, Forget Dinner. I was a massive fan of Gumtree dating but the site got closed down because of all the weirdo's ; ). I used to like taking my dates to the Hunterian Museum (http://www.rcseng.ac.uk/museums).  Many things have come out of these random experiences-One guy contacted this year but he didn't have that special something. Weeks later he contacted me again saying he was a photographer- yeah right. I decided to believe him and meet him to talk about a doing some potential shoot- the front cover for 'Le Cool'. I decided I was feeling cool and to go ahead and do it. He wanted to go on location to some wasteland in East London. Suspicious. The day of the shoot he came to my garage to collect the stuff. I've never seen anyone gag so much in all my life! Every time he got a whiff he pretty much started to cry. The photo sho

Near Death Experience - Living forever.

Image
My Near Death Experience has been extended- AGAIN! By popular demand, Bristols best pop-up shop and art experience will continue it's  reign  of terror and triumph at The City Hall throughout April.  The exhibition seems to be living forever but there is a Dead End in sight- You have until May 1st to be enchanted by a world of magic and mysticism, bringing you closer than ever to our greatest fears and otherworldly desires through twisted gothic surrealism-Both hilarious and tragic. The City Hall has been a fabulous exhibition space and I have been incredibly lucky to have had such a good run of bad luck. This past year has seen me tossed from one space to the next as i've inadvertently become  strapped onto a waltzer in a furious cyclone of boundless uncertainty. I've ended up in some great spaces, but after this one finishes, I am once again on the road to oblivion.    I am an artist in the eternal frying pan-  Tossed from one
