Conversations with Susan Hiller

"... modern psychoanalytic thought has introduced to Western culture the idea of the heterogeneity of the self, breaking the tradition of a unified subject, revealing the multivalent, discontinuous, inconsistent, precarious identity of individuals in our society." - excerpt from a talk by Susan Hiller entitled REFLECTIONS.

Inspired by Ai Weiwei

"I realise art is really about your own motivation, your own passion, your own character, its not something a teacher can teach you." Ai Weiwei.

I just watched a beautiful video of Chinese artist Ai Weiwei. I haven't seen his piece 'Sunflower seeds' in the Turbine Hall however after this insight I am inspired to do so.

Treasure Tree Arts and Crafts Fair

I have been trying to raise money by selling hand made bits. These images are of my stall in the New Art Exchange last weekend.

Your Images Here

I have been volunteering at the New Art Exchange for a while now. The gallery has been running a program of workshops inspired by the BAS7, 'Your images here' was a workshop run by Nottingham based artist Frank Abbot.

Here are the 3 images I chose to submit (click to enlarge)

I know, They don't know.
