I’ve been in hiding the last month or so finishing the paintings for my new solo show Clouded Apollo at Stolen Space Gallery. Thanks to everyone who came last Thursday, the show runs until the 29th November – more pics to follow soon. In the meantime you can visit Ian Cox Flickr for more photos (thanks Ian)
Also my beau has his latest solo – Headless Heroes running at Lazarides Gallery. To see the pics of his amazing new paintings check out conorsaysboom

I spent yesterday photographing Jessie Walters, aerial performer and hoola hooper extraordinaire from Hoop La La. It was my first time working with a model and despite feeling very unfit I’m now super excited to use these images in my work. Thanks Jessie

I recently caught this show on at Whitechapel Gallery. Elizabeth Peyton comes in for alot of criticism for painting celebrities and pursuing what some refer to as an adolescent subject matter and style, but I along with lots of others love her work. There is something beautiful and jewel like about these paintings, a fragile minature beauty.

I recently saw the Radical Nature on at the Barbican, the show as a whole didn’t do much for me but my highlights were Mark Dion’s Mobile wilderness unit - pictured above, it reminded me of the paintings of Josh Keyes which I love. The photos of Agnes Denes project in 1982 where she dug, planted and harvested a 2 acre wheat field in downtown Manhattan were breathtaking. The idea was re appropriated to coincide with the Radical Nature exhibition by a group of artists at Dalston Mill near where we live. I’m not sure if the harvest had quite the same yield but it was great to sit outside on a warm summer evening in Dalston under the stars. Stars and fields usually seem a million miles from this busy intersection that I’ve called home for the last two years. Sadly the mill is closed now which is just aswell really, as the summer starts to draw to a close I’m becoming increasingly aware that I have a show coming soon – less star gazing and more painting for me.

“How I yearn to throw myself into endless space and float above the awful abyss” Goethe
I have been looking at the idea of flight, both real and metaphorical in my work for the past few years. The idea started with my diving girls series, it has developed and grown into thoughts on fleeing, departing and the desire to escape drudgery. The holiday is the most obvious expression of escapism, peaking with the construction of theme parks and disney land but escapism manifests throughout culture in more subtle ways, scientific, technological and commercial. Most of our collective endeavors are a desire to distance ourselves from the lowly animal status of our species here on earth. Hearing about the tower jumpers of the Middle Ages – men dressed in homemade wings throwing themselves off towers in the name of flight research is a classic example of mans inability to accept his circumstances, ie I am a human but I want to be able to fly like a bird too. In my work I want to capture that feeling of abandonment from reality and also underlie some of the dystopian effects that such an approach brings.
“On Twisted Wings” is a series of works, made using the screen print process which are part of a family whilst also having some individual elements and unique qualities to each print. I wanted to retain some of the spontaneity of my studio practice by combining hand painting with screen printing, switching back and forth between the layers. I don’t plan my paintings but start with a vague idea or primary image in my head and react in a pretty organic way daily to the marks/ images I have done the day before and I approached this print project in the same way.
Thanks to Dface for encouraging the project, Ronzo for letting me into his studio, Jaime for being the best assistant and all the rest of the Stolen Space crew for continued support.
p.s. keep an eye on Stolen Space for release details.
