Bollard work

Many thanks to the brilliant staff of The Fruitmarket Gallery for participating in the bollard work this morning. 12 members staff standing on the 12 newly installed bollards on Market street, Edinburgh, for 12 minutes. Search twitter for more documentation! Merry Xmas

Assessment day.

Some images of my studio as it is, ready for the end of semester assessment. 

Case Study

Link to PDF copy of my Case Study


Having trouble with ePortal so have uploaded the case study to moodle and present a copy here too for backup...

More images from project space...

Many thanks to Yaya for the images she took of the before, during and after of our project space. Some of which are here for your delectation... 

Karin Sanders again...

Karin Sander: What must a work of mine fulfil? I must be able to work using resources that actually exist, that are already present within the system, and that can turn the system against itself. I must be able to read things from a location, the situation, of a museum or gallery. And the work must both reveal something and also remain mysterious. It must transcend itself and gesture towards something that was not previously visible. In other words, it must render something visible that is already present but that has hitherto escaped perception, that exists in a latent state. If the work provokes amazement and perhaps amusement as well, then it is successful.

Karin Sanders...

Thanks to Dean for pointing this work out...

People on Stone Plinths, 1986. Wasserschloss Glatt/Sulz. 20 concrete blocks


All 20 participants in this sculptors’ symposium are standing on brick-sized concrete plinths. Some of these plinths are formed of two or three blocks placed on top of each other and so are proportionally higher than others. Compared to the classical proportions between plinth and statute, the figures appear far too big for the plinths they stand on. They choose their poses freely while endeavouring at the same time to keep their balance. Despite being relatively close together, they do not communicate with each other but form independent sculptures.

I love/hate moment's like these... bang goes any idea of a work like this for the degree show.
