Just introducing myself ..I am a multi-disciplinary contemporary sculptor, performer and edge-dweller, making artworks that that could be described as a form of visual choreography of spatial remains. I call it "A Labour of Attentiveness”! I love to discuss art, music, philosophy, ideas, writing x

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

‘Emerging artist’ opps -how chrononormativity isn’t natural law but is biased against later starters (me☺️), minorities with different financial pulls + women or other carers. It’s a cultural/institutional imposition that should be resisted. #emergingartist hyperallergic.com/1042641/when...
When Artists Are Too Old to Be “Emerging”
If the art world is serious about equity, it has to stop equating emergence with youth and start building structures that reflect the multiplicity of artistic timelines.

Lovely to meet up in person with @royal_sculptors members at @vam_east to view the collection. We all agreed it was a valuable resource when trying to design crates and supports for shipping work!

After 30 yrs in the Arts this is the first I have heard of this scheme www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Inside Britain’s least-known art collection are works that should be ours to enjoy | Kirsty Major
A rarely publicised tax scheme says owners must allow public access to their treasures – so why is it so hard to access, asks Guardian Opinion deputy editor Kirsty Major

Creativity is process… a series of often messy, wonky connections that suddenly coalesce into wonderful. Artists/ creatives are skilled in this process of unique originality. Because it’s not just seeking outcome.

This is a fundamental realisation that it took me years to come to.
The enjoyment of art comes from the countless hidden decisions that were made slowly, which you as an audience enjoy quickly.
The speed of consumption renders the craft invisible, magical.
Creation at speed can’t do this.

Can’t find it now, but someone clarified my thinking on generative AI by saying it’s about the number of choices going into a creative work
Even a fine-tuned prompt involves orders of magnitude fewer choices vs writing a short story, painting a little picture, etc etc
The choices are the creativity

Please take moment to read.. it’s not what you see on TV… but instead the quiet person unable to wave or shout. Question them/ask… you may have less than 30 seconds to get to them. Usually people playing in water make noise. When they get quiet, you must get to them & find out why.

These amazing biscuit designs absolutely brought me joy this morning. Bravo @ellamchawk.bsky.social 👏🏻💐💥
Today is National Biscuit Day, and it’s about time that I populated this account with biscuit (cookie) sets from the past few years. Here are some of my favourites. 🧵
First up, a set inspired by the delicious designs of William Morris and John Henry Dearle.

I'm recovering from a breakdown at the moment and trying to get back on my feet with my workshops & Etsy.
If you could maybe RT my new creative & mental health workshop (previous few posts today,Friday 25th) it would help so much to show it to a few more eyes.
I'd really appreciate it, thankyou 🌿

Lovely to have an in-person @royal_sculptors gallery trip to Saatchi to see work by members who gave talks about their works, textiles by Anne von Freyburg & on to Serpentine for Giuseppe Penone. Always so good to exchange ideas around Sculpture.
