not long to go

it looks our public art collaboration with rachel welford and john clarke will be installed w/c 8th february. you can see progress of the project over at www.railwayart.com

rachel and i presented the project to students on the school’s creative and media diploma at the start of the year which prompted some good questions. the students are in process of delivering a project about documenting sense of place so there was lots in common with our piece.

[note to self - must blog about the diploma soon...]

the writing’s on the wall

typography-art commission at york and hull medical school – part of scarborough hospital. the work was commissioned by hafney [hospital arts for north east yorkshire] responding to some specific requirements:

it’s situated in a corridor which doubles as a waiting area for people arriving for interviews with windows on each side – one looks into the library and the other into an office. the work was required to obscure the office window giving some privacy without blocking light, reference to the library would be appreciated [hence a design made of words] and a some relevance to the medical school in general. we selected words from the school’s prospectus for an initial design and then further words were suggested by the school’s staff.

what a complete waste of a day

artists book for rachel howfield. we designed this towards the end of 2009 in time for rachel to take copies to new york where she was exhibiting at a.i.r gallery. rachel’s work often explores the tension of being a practising artist and a wife and mother and she led a discussion at a.i.r on the topic. intrigued? why not follow rachel’s blog. say hello and she might even send you a book.
