One week to go TILL IT'S SHOWTIME

Soooooo This exhibition of macabre mania has crept up in the wings pretty quick.  One week to go and I've barley told a soul- 
Currently being an artist isn't as cool as it seems. Sometimes you have to come down to real life earth and make important phone calls and pretend to be really clever. I've spent more time in front of my computer than ever before. My fingers have been soldered to the keys in a flurry of invites and admin duties that quite frankly isn't my forte. I want to be in the garden talking to flowers not emailing weirdos about my show. Being everything is hard. Doing everything for yourself is harder.
These baby's need to be ready in time for Thursday. Cutting it a bit fine...
 In reality i'm just a normal girl.Normal normal normal. .... Who has strange visions of terrifying and hilarious nature.

 Sometimes a trance like state comes over me and I start moving my arms around as if building mental magic right in front of glazed over eyes... People have actually seen me do this. It's a real phenomenon:  I sit, I stare and glaze over with such extraordinary intensity and worldly vagueness that you know I am somewhere you couldn't even touch the sides of. Sometimes these places I visit mentally give me panic attacks. Sometimes it's just like having a shot of adrenaline pumped into your ass and other times it's like a wet fart.

This show at The Vaults has crept up with barley a ripple inside my wellbeing-which makes a nice change from the usual internal anguish leading up to a big show.  I say that now but come 5 days time I'll have tea bags sellotaped to my eyeballs and frozen spoons on speed dial to calm the tried emotional bags erupting from within.

Work in progress.....Definitely definitely be finished in time for the show ;) 


 This time it's about the art. A sneak preview of a new performance will be making a showcase but i'm way more excited about the actual art having some well deserved air time. I haven't had a solo show in years (completely out of choice obviously).  I retired for reasons but it turns out that making and creating is something I just can't not do. I don't need to do it with animals though. ...But I still have  couple of freezers full... So I'll save them for the rest of the musical cast.


You've seen him sing in all your favourite C.T.G videos..Now see him sing for his life, IN REAL LIFE-  live.

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

Debut Contemporary: CON ARTIST: Crimes Against Artists Humanity

Image
Subtle There's  a man called Samir Ceric in a Gallery called Debut  Contemporary  on Westborne Grove that has bullied, manipulated and lied to thousands of young, naive and inexperienced artists. Playing on the fact they are desperate to make it in the art world.  Here’s some advice for free:  YOU CAN’T BUY YOUR WAY IN There is no short cut to fame and glory. You get it by hard work and hard work only and if you are willing to work hard YOU WILL SUCCEED. You don’t need to pay over 400 pounds a month (for min 3 months contract) for a mentoring scheme from a man with no background in art whatsoever… Astoundingly Samir Ceric had just been voted (AND WON) the Hospital Club’s 100 most influential people in the Art and Design category. "I CHOKED ON MY LOAD" Now let me give you some background on the winner: A serial and self-styled entrepreneur, with numerous failed/bankrupt business and absolutely no art qualifications at all. I was amazed

Like A Lamb to the Slaughter. Easter special.

Image
Like a Lamb to the Slaughter I had arranged for some people to come round. They just wanted to see what I got up to on my day off, take some picture ect.  I was planning on using a hare (it being Easter and all) but the only thing that was budging was a lamb.  I was planning on crucifying it before I knew about Gunther Von Hagens and his idea of taking a dead body to the Pope.  These baby lambs died of natural causes soon after birth.  Sinking feeling I decided not to wash the blood out. It's the harsh, stark  reminder of the brutality.  I then turned the spot light on and...
