This blog is about six years old. Since 2018 this space has been the anchor to me keeping my artistic practice going as if some form of curious web based accountability buddy that is silently coaching me along.
I was reading what I originally wrote in the About section. It’s what PR folk would say is ‘the origin story’ and how my blog and art practice started with a couple of tubes of WH Smith paint in a used Charlie Bingham box. Looking back at the images I think my practice has grown and developed.
Below are more photos of artefacts portraying the growth in my art practice. You will see how I have graduated from storing things in a used Charlie Bingham tray to now using seven Haeckles Innovation boxes to store my paints and all kinds of other artistic bits and bobs.
I now have four shelves dedicated to store all other kinds of artistic creation paraphernalia
I have a place to hang my artist workwear and designated aprons. It’s next to a shelf just for fabrics.
I trust you enjoyed a sneak peak of my studio. Hoping one day I can host customers, curators and commissioners here and help them choose things like fabric or colours and textures while convivially catching up on the latest news, celebrity gossip, and business title tattle, sipping a green tea and nibbling M&S’s petit macaroons. The mezzanine space was designed for live work and I’d like to use it to its fullest potential. It separates off the other part of my apartment dividing the living area and working area nicely. Upstairs mezzanine is the working area. And downstairs is for living.
So there you have it several signs my practice has grown. I’ve extensively invested in tools, kit and paints etc. I hope that I get to continue to expand in the years to come. I look forward to reporting on the progress here. I wonder what the longest blog in the world is….
