I Told You Not To Rattle My Cage There is a long story behind most things. The story behind this creation involves two opportunists, a banana, a lawn mower and a fireman … and that just scratches the surface. The full story will never be told. I apologize now to all future followers, art historians, programme [...]

EXHIBIT 10

THE GAS DUCKTECTOR I am fully expecting that my latest invention is going to make me very rich. I have been very concerned for a number of years about the canaries that are used in mines to detect lethal gas. It was not a good sign if the canary keeled over and died, particularly for the canary [...]

Going shopping and whilst hopping, She spied her own reflection. She checked her bum, oh this is fun. She gazed with much affection. “Avast behind!” broke her peace of mind, She glared in all directions, Then saw the source, oh yes, of course! A pirate of fair complexion. She began to flirt and twirled her skirt Then spied an imperfection. Across his bum, which left [...]

Stage 1 of new sculpture. The core is this cube which is half brain and half cabbage. Surprisingly I know what I’m doing.

THE TURNER PRIZE

The Turner Prize has been on the go since 1984. Like most innovations there comes a time when the sell-by-date is reached and something new is needed. It is very difficult for those involved to recognise this time. With the blessing of the organisers of the alternative Turnip Prize I am in the process of creating [...]

PRICKING OUT

I pricked out my Blackberry bush a few weeks ago and it’s doing very well. I reckon I’ll be able to harvest it in a couple of weeks. I’ll call you when it’s ripe. (Found objects, copper, cement and galvanised wire)

POP-UP ART SHOWS

One of the very nice things about living right on the coast is that unpretentious people create pop-up art shows in their gardens. This installation changes through the year. New bits of flotsam and jetsam are found on the beach and added almost on a daily basis. Obviously bits are also removed as I remember a [...]

AS IT HAPPENS

HAPPENING From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. A happening is a performance, event or situation meant to be considered art, usually as performance art. Happenings take place anywhere, and are often multi-disciplinary, with a nonlinear narrative and the active participation of the audience. Key elements of happenings are planned, but artists sometimes retain room for improvisation. This new [...]
