#BlackSquares365

My current one-every-day-for-a-year project is to create a fresh artwork from scratch each day around the idea of Black Squares. I’m calling it “distributed art”: lots of people can own an individual, unique piece of art and at the same time hold a share of one larger artwork spread across time and space; no one person will own it all, nobody will ever see it in its entirety!

#Letter365

The culmination of my year-long project #Letter365 was an installation at Bridport Arts Centre. #Letter365 was an unfolding artwork created a piece each day for a year. Each day's artwork was sealed in an envelope and sent to the Arts Centre where they were held unopened until the installation.. People were able to invest in the project by buying a day - unseen. Only sold pieces were opened. I documented the progress of the project on the #Letter365 blog

#Collage365

In March 2014 I completed a project to create a small collage each day for a year. You can see the work on this site in a gallery. on the Scissors and Glue blog and on my Twitter media feed
