Near Death Experience on tour- The Vestibules

I've been given this magical golden unicorn to ride
The Mary Poppins of pop-ups has pulled it out the bag and I’ll be legally setting up camp for 3 weeks in The City Hall with a weird wonderland of art, taxidermy and fabulous fashion pieces. 

 Amazingly, The Mayor of Bristol has opened two new arts spaces, and i'm one of The Vestibules first residents. 
For the last month you could wittiness my wears at SPACE gallery.
A glorious spot right on the Old Market highway. These guys and gals at Artspace Lifespace completely saved my bacon when my most recent artistic venture in Stokes Croft went up the shitter-  

R.I.P Stokes Croft
Art studio/ gallery and pop-up shop of amazement and wonder
September 2016- Jan 2017 
I had 3 days to turn an exhibition around.
The job was pretty enormous, the time touching cloth, but it happened and the show was a storm. People came from miles around for their own Near Death Experience....
After official reviews, the pop-up art exhibition and self proclaimed 'Shop Of Amazement' is now officially
'Arguably Bristol's oddest and most unique store....'



It seems The Near Death Experience is on  tour- Who knows how long for. Catch me while and if you can at The Vestiblues in the City Hall on the College Green. 
Unicorns and you will find me riding high and true....Or just in the building underneath ;)
Monday-Friday 11-7 pm

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

Like A Lamb to the Slaughter. Easter special.

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...

Goodbye Cruel World

Unfortunately, due to a series of the most unfortunate and catastrophic events smashing wildly and unexpectedly into each other- I have had to cancel the show. The Greatest Show That Ever Died, remains dead.               The universe has dealt some devastating blows in a whole variety of situations, and sadly this is one of them. To be able to live as I do in London, I need to not be paying rent. I found a way to do this through house sitting. Sometimes you’re living the dream, other times it’s sofa surfing, squat life and tinder dates. As well as my tempestuous sleeping arrangements, I have also been secretly struggling for a creative reason to live. For a while now, I have been slowly slipping into an uphill battle with a whirling pit of despair. Nothing was moving, everything was stuck. Most things felt lost. The only real joy and sanctuary was my art studio, which was generously donated to me a few years ago by The Vaults. No matter what was going on, I could alwa
