currently i am working on/thinking about;
1...bone army. im fond of this but dont know where its going or the significance bit muddled.KEEP THINKING
2...the chig painting..might as well finish although hasnt blown me away with excitement........FINISH
3..chicken carcass..............................................................................................................ABANDON
4..bull's balls...........................................what to do?.........................................................KEEP THINKING
5..collage of lactating men, significance?.............................................................................KEEP THINKING
6..cant even remember!!
what i really, really, really want to do is to begin work on a collection, series, exercise of paintings exploring destiny, fate and real happiness.
"One life, live it" or "Your life, live it" or "One wife, leave it"(as recently seen on the back of a landy!)
the viewer sees what they feel they want to see(or dont see) in each image, like finding pictures in clouds or trees.
the image they see represents their way at looking at the world, negatively or positivly?
glass half empty or half full?
we are all essentially responsible for our own reactions to situations, and those reactions make us who we are the situation may be out of our management control, but the reaction to it is within.
the work would encourage people to be themselves and not be told what they 'should' see, but rather to be in control of themselves, their own reaction, emotion, decision.
and maybe to continue to look and see further, or to reverse their initial thoughts, to turn a negative into a positive maybe?
less "where theres a blame, theres a claim".. more.."i tripped over the pavement, i must look where im going"!!
i want the viewer to question their outlook on life, maybe recognise that it could be altered for the better?
that we are all responsible for our own happiness, and stop blaming others
the course of destiny is in our hands, not controlled by others
so take ownership of that course and live it.

no..this is 100% beef
been messing about with some bones and have begun to create a small army, of which i have grown quite fond!
the chicken carcass never materialised but im not going to persue that one just yet, got enough going on
i might just continue collecting the army of oxtail bones with diamond eyes, they work very well, a kind of ||Mona Lisa quality, looking wherever you want them to.
and been working on a painting of a pig morphing into a hen, not finished.
perhaps it would be financially beneficial to the 'meat' industry ?
and i doubt many a consumer would really care?

an idea! destiny your life, live it.
as usual am leaping forward without finishing the last thing, but was thinking in the middle of the night about destiny and the paths people take, the decisions they make, or dont make.
proactive or reactive?
we are all responsible for our own lives but why is it inherent in some to lean on others, to blame others?
where theres a blame theres a claim etc
why are some well behaved and others questioning
why do people use the term "should"... hideous word should be banned
why are people so expectant?
why do they think they should be looked after, have their bums wiped for them?
get from life what you put in
see it your way and be responsible for yourself
instead of letting others tell you what to see, do it yourself
maybe some abstract canvases, a series, to let the viewer make their own images, like seeing pictures in flames or clouds or waves, mountains, snow

bones and balls
have been very busy at the butchers! some very nice men at TTS Meats in macclesfield have agreed, after much questioning re animal liberation front stuff etc, to get me some bulls balls.
now i dont really have a plan now my new friend phil the taxidermist is too busy to do anything until august(interesting in a recession?)
have been researching do it yourself taxidermy so i might well have a go!!
other options are formaldehyde, setting in resin?
have also got a chicken coming intact with head and feet which i intend to reduce down to a carcass and re sculpt back into a chicken, how i dont know, will either be a historic success or brilliant failiure. ever the optimist!
have found some cool people doing stuff with bones;
