Rufus’s sketchbook a constant inspiration really nice balance of style and substance,so natural.
All images from my sketchbook, still really mark making based, adding more and more and more color which is definitely a good ting x
Claude Heath, his drawing style very gestural, embraces looseness which is where his results stem from. Uses strange techniques like blind drawing, drawing by touch etc All processes I am interested in. They do feel like cheating though at times….. II wonder why, surely only results should matter?
I’ve been interested in body art for ages but it is only now emerging in my work, I went to see the, ‘skin’ , exhibition at the wellcome gallery and brought the book decorated skin. I’m also interested in how body art can denote status, social roles, age, certain events , rituals, etc.. Which does persist in our culture we dress differently depending on our generation, dress up for a night out, and then being decorated in a certain way effects how we feel and how our night goes. All of this expresses archetypes when looked at from a Jungian perspective
Turin Shroud. Centre of great controversy, seems to represent science coming in and de-valuing religious icons, and religion in general. It highlights how many of these so clled religious relics had to be crafted and that that craft was often subjugated in favour of the religious explanation unlike nowadays. Is this a similar trade to what I’m engaged in?
An altar in the basilica in Budapest. I was greatly intrigued by the covered figure (at the bottom of the picture) on the floor at this altar. Seeing it gave me the shivers, and that made me want to make some art that may have a similar effect. Have a look at my works blog to see what i’ve been making.
Andora Mindre, his outfit to do a performance in Kinashasa capital of the Congo. This guy seems to share an aesthetic with me, he likes to dress up apparently, and perform and why not. Only this image of his work comes up when I search him in google.

Very scientific looking, alchemy sort of art piece. A bit Beuysian. All things I like. I love the transition from man made on the right, to sort of earthy on the left. The earth is contained within technology/ on a construct of it. In real life I guess technology is contained within the confines of earth, or physicality itself. I love it as a physical object though, and it talks to me. The line between technology and the natural is something that still interests me, this guy represents it in a way that is perhaps more suitable to art than my diagrams were though.
It’s hard to find out more about him, i’ll have to ask artsatlas where they found him
Nomad of The Steppers Fluorescent Light and Hot Water // 2007
Andres Serrano, Piss Christ. Was highly controversial, depicts a crucifix within a glass of the artists own piss. This seems like an anti religious message, but was in fact meant to portray the cheaping of religious imagery in modern culture1, showing how easily strong imagery can be misconstrued. People will always bring their own meaning to the table. How much can this be helped?
