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.

'The Constant Library',  Volume XXX: "Void - in Art, Mark Levy".

"The idea for 'The Constant Library' follows on from a recent conversation considering which books had, and continue to have, the greatest affect my life in a variety of different ways. These are the books I can't live without and whenever possible I have a copy of with me wherever I travel in the world; my 'Constant Library."

I have chosen to include 'Void - in Art' at this time for two reasons: primarily because it feels very appropriate in terms of my current work and that primary reason actually sparks the secondary reason which is that although I have read it several times in the past, now, in consideration of my current work, seems like an apt time to consider it once again.

Within my work and thinking the idea of Void and the Sublime are closely associated, perhaps because in many ways the Sublime appears to reside within Void. From my past readings of the book Mark Levy's study of the concepts and expressions of Void chime very closely with my own which means that this reindulgence should be  either reaffirming or enlightening, or hopefully both.
