The Athole House Studio
Self-Isolation Artist Residency
30th March 2020 - 7th November 2021

​

Picture
Over my career I have taken part in many artist residencies in various parts of the world; I have even organised and run a residency program myself. 2020 has brought new challenges to us all, I however intend to treat these challenges as opportunities. With this in mind today, the first day of my self-isolation having arrived back from my studio in the Untied States last night, I I launch my new blog which will become an integral part of this website as I redesign is over the coming weeks.

Artist Residencies give artists the space and perhaps more importantly the time to make new work; I intend to treat my time in self-isolation in the same way that I would if I were on an artist residency in another studio in another part of the world. Athole House Studio maybe one of my home studios but for me it is a work space, and lets face it, we all now have the time.

'Self Portrait with Jenga.' sculpture, found materials, 2011

Picture
'Self Portrait with Jenga' was the first significant piece produced whilst on my first artist residency in 2011 at Cow House Studios in Ireland. Once again it was produced with items found in the studios on my arrival there, I am a great believer in the nature of 'play ' in the creative process. The final piece produced during these plaful experiments references my own spine/back which I have congenital problems with.

'Bridge.' sculpture/installation, found materials, 2009.

Picture
'Bridge' marks my first piece that spans the 'gap', hense the title, between sculpture and installation. It was created from two offcuts of board I found in the space in the picture which I maipulated  into this form unique to this space.

'Sculpture and Plinth.' sculpture, found objects, 2008.

Picture
'Sculpture and Plinth' was  in many ways both a simple but also important piece for me. Created entirely from a set of file drawers which I found in a skip, it explored  the self portrait, the anthropomorphic and the wholeness of a piece of sculpture for the first time ; a piece where nothing is added and nothing is taken away in its creation.

'Spirituality Levels.' kinetic sculpture from found objects, 2008.

Picture
Following on from 'Still' and 'Engine' I began to explore the possibilities of combining materialls found in pound shops. With the aid of cheap clocks and laser spirit levels my first kinetic sculptures were also born in 2008. These pieces embody my first experiments in both form and effect in regards to sculpture.

'Still.' found materials, 2008.

Picture
Since I've been working on the new 'Skin & Bone' sculpture project, previously 'B(l)each(ed) Bones', I've had a few comments from people  who didn't realise that I am a sculpture as well as a painter, hardly surprising considering the last 2 years output. So I have decided to correct this misapprehension by posting a few favorite sculptural pieces of mine from the past; starting today with 'Still' which was inspired by the idea of a solar still and was literally made from debris found when I moved into a new studio  in 2008.
