Murmurs I: Things We Must

We should learn how to drive for various reasons


We should own a few bunnys


We must find new forms of education to chew on


We must love Sayaka Ganz who recycles plastic junk and cutlery into beautiful works of art


We must forget about gravity and the things that pull us down for fuck's sake


We must understand the reasons why love isn't always there for us


We must all embrace sexy bannisters when given the chance


We must try to lose weight before Easter festivities arrive


We must travel the plastic bags of love with installation artist Sarah Sze


We must all have sex with Jeff Koons


We must admire the green giants who grow overblueseas


We must free ourselves from the boxes and the system (artist Tom Friedman)


We must learn to love machines before they learn to hate us


We must all get fucked!


We must love unknowingly, always two stitches at a time


We must all idolise James Dean


We must not fear our anxieties and our paranoia

A Perk of Life: Jennifer Taylor's "Ground Control" at The Wapping Project

This month I assisted Jennifer Taylor (Flowers Gallery) on her new installation at The Wapping Project. (Christian Ferreira Projects). Here are some pictures from this little perk of artistic life.

Chair painted white

Air dough sausages and flour balloons


wrapped up rings/hoops and the backstage studio workshop


Having fun transporting the Hydroball on Techymeister's van.


The lovely jobs of spraying all the objects white either using spray paint or the compressor/air gun.


This became a cool and fun job for me and it was great because I could begin to measure the progress from what was not white, to what became white.







Often than not, certain objects had particular surfaces that the paint became difficult to stick to and needed a large number of coats and spraying.


Rotating on jobs. Dave Chalkley, a sculpture technician.





Spray cans


Balls balls balls...

We all get stuck in. Gemma Butterworth is also here.


Almost there. Finally the work is all complete. Josh from the Wapping Project helped with the hanging using the harness. Next stop was the private view and a chance to enjoy all the hard work that had gone into making and curating this adventurous space oddity. Here are some pictures of the work completed.
