If my art was music...
If I made music instead of art this is what I'd hope it would sound like.

ok so catchup
Been fairly busy over the last few weeks, finished another carved piece finally and I'm happy with it for the moment so that's a plus. Also recently found another object to carve onto this time a set of drawers I found while out walking really looking forward to carving onto this, the installation idea is slowly but surely coming together.
Also over the past few weeks some of my work was on show with the Black Cube Collective at the arts complex near Meadowbank in Edinburgh and also for the closing event at old st pauls church near waverly station.
Currnetly working on my pitch for the Scottish album of the year awards art commission 2013.

You Could Tell It Was Telford....
The realisation that I am to be the last resident artist on
the AIRetc programme at Telford college in its current guise before merging
with Stevenson and Jewel and Esk on Monday 1st of October to become
part of Edinburgh College has added gravitas to the position I currently occupy
as artist in residence here at Telford College. This programme of inviting
former students to take up residence within the college, producing work, and
engaging with the students is extremely important for the artists, the students,
and the college as a whole. It helps to build upon the professional practice of
the artists selected, allowing them the opportunity and time to pursue various
lines of artistic enquiry in their own work and builds connections with staff
and students.
Having previously studied at Telford and then returning here
to start this residency I can honestly say I feel a connection with the
identity of the college as a whole, an Identity that I feel proud to have been
a part of despite its change of address and use of fairly odd tag lines for
marketing the college, one of which very much becoming a by-phrase for shit
(You Can Tell Its Telford…). But I guess that’s it, you could tell it was Telford, somehow “the south campus of Edinburgh
College” doesn’t strike me full of inspiration or doesn’t hint at the history
behind the college itself. With this in mind I hope that the homogenisation of
these three colleges does not negatively impact upon the output of the students
or the staff in their abilities to impart their own knowledge and skills.
Having studied in several institutions that have merged over the years I am
always wary of mergers which seem to be ostensibly and solely done to cut costs
and the first things to get cut always seems to be staff and equipment.
I don’t know what the future of the programme will be after
the merger but I would hope that the AIRetc residency will continue to exist,
it would be a shame in these cutting times to lose something that costs very
little if anything but is of great benefit to those that are involved be it the
students, the lecturers the invited artists or the institution itself.
