Been a bit busier recently after somewhat of an absence Firstly have just returned from a couple of days in London with my good wife celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary. It would be sacrilege not for me to sneak in a bit of housing into the itinerary , so i managed to sneak off on the DLR to Blackwall to check out these Britalist Behemoths that've been on my hitlist for some years BALFRON TOWER by Erno Goldfinger  and (ParkHills half brother) ROBIN HOOD GARDENS by Alison and Peter Smithson   More info, history and pics of these beauties to come at a later Blog back to the present.... Am having work featured in the "Dialogue" exhibition organised by MoonKo at The exhibition is from Tuesday 26th April - Saturday 30th April with a launch event 5:30-7:30pm on the Tuesday- i'll be off to the Sheffield Tap straight after... do feel free to join me... The exhibition is an exploration of the theme "Dialogue" the relationship between public and private spaces, the conversation that takes plave between journey and time- Obviously that bit wasn't written me - thats good ol' copy and paste My input has been to get some of my more popular and graphic images of ParkHill printed up onto huge PVC based board - largest image being 2 x 1 metre other artists contributing are Andy Brown, James Dodd, Deborah Moon, Jonathon Stead and Roanna Wells |
