  • You’re Overthinking Yoko Ono

    “You’re overthinking it”. That’s what a woman said to me when I sat playing White Chess Set (1966) at Yoko Ono’s Tate Modern retrospective Music of the Mind. It’s a lot to unpack.

    The World Goes Pop at Tate Modern Tate Modern has been playing host to a very large look at Pop Art that has come from sources other than the large figures from New York and London that dominated the movement, artists such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Peter Blake and Claes Oldenburg.

  • The Shape of Time 3

    I asked my tutor for a short tutorial about my work and my painting, asking his opinions on the pieces I had made and of my plans. Of the painting he explained that the background as it is is too distracting in the image (echoing my own thoughts), that its casual nature detracts from it

  • The Shape of Time 2

      Overnight, it all fell apart. Literally but not figuratively, I expected the tape to fall down as the tension was very high and parts had failed to remain attached to the canvas whilst I was putting the tape on. This break up of the painting is awesome and I love the way the tape
