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

​

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.

Part 40: 'Interpretation, abstraction, illusion.
An Unsettling Appeal: Insearch of the Sublime.

This idea of how the subjects contained within the painted plane are arranged does of course relate to the way in which we as observers interact in comparable real-world situations.

If we encounter and converse with an individual our primary focus is drawn to their face, their eyes, their mouth, with a probable extended view to consider their hands, which will often make-up a crucial section of any communication process. The resulting interchange will, traditional, be a relatively close and intimate one in which all the attention of the two parties involved will be focused one upon the other. This is done for two interconnected reasons, one being practical and one social. The practical being the requirement for the affective and accurate transmission of data, as although we are generally considering such meetings from a visual stand point in regard to this essay, this makes up only a small, although important part, of such an encounter. The auditory component of such a situation is generally far more important and may well need an increased focus between the involved parties for the affective reception and processing of the transmission taking place. The social reason for such attentiveness is one drawn from what might be called civil manners, where it is deemed polite to focus our complete attention upon the other in such a social interaction. This civil part of the encounter does of course has its original basis in the practical component of these meetings where such attention has become thought of as polite because it is actually necessary.
