AXO Gallery opening and general update

My best friend (Sarah Wilson) launched Axo Gallery on Queen Charlotte St in Edinburgh at the weekend, her opening event was circus themed. A magnificent event featuring art, popcorn, video, clowns, installations, alcohol, puppets and a big brass band. Wasn’t really a big brass band, it was a regular band who seemed to have an attachment to The Jam. Two of my Jackets made an appearance at the event (pictured above) and I used my access to Dundee REP’s wardrobe store to make up my costume. A good night was had by all.I have also set up a new business, Two Dolls, with another friend (Zoe Venditozzi). Zoe and I have come together to create a hub for cross-disciplinary networking and creative endeavours. Providing writers, artists and makers with space for collaboration, networking, and performance. We will also provide retail space to sell artists’ work. Check us out on Facebook, Twitter and  http://thosetwodolls.blogspot.com/p.s. don’t know what’s going on with the font, can’t get it to stay a uniform size!

new year, new work

Happy new year to you all! As in the title, new year = new work. Now the festive period is over, I have stopped making stuffed animals and moved onto new works. The above image is a detail from new work I have made for the Generator Members Show (23rd, Jan, 7-9pm, preview night. Mid Wynd Ind Est, Dundee). I have had a project in mind for some time now and this work is the first step in the developement of that. There has been a set back with this project though, I was hoping to use the space at Generator but they have their programme for the next year sorted, so I would have to wait until the new committee takes over in November. This means I could potentially not get the space til November 2010! This has put a spanner in my funding application plan. Oh, the life of an artist; it’s a balancing act of the right proposal, venue and funding. Nightmare! So now i have to look for another venue, can’t really think of any others in Dundee that would be as suitable as the Generator space. The thinking cap is firmly on. Help!

Cupar Arts Festival 10th-26th October 2008

You can see/buy these at Inside Out, N. Union St, Cupar £10 each. for those of you have been keeping track…the doll i showed on my last blog update has still not sold and as much as I want her for myself, I am now offended that no one has taken her home!

WASPS open studios, 4th+5th October ‘08

Secretly hoping no one buys this one at the open studio, cause I want it! Although, if someone is in love with her then they can take her for the sum of £15. Quite surprising, when i thought she might have been for the reject bin.
