Another great photoshoot with photographer David Chalmers. Really pleased with these images of The Death of Sainsbury's, The Death of a Species and The Death of Munrow, collectively known as A Trilogy of Death... Looking forward to the next batch!

WORK IN PROGRESS - More Michael Gove Modelling

Karen Thompson - Still Modelling (Photo: Jade Montserrat).

Back on the case after a major family distraction these past couple of weeks. I've now managed to spend the past two to three days working on the Michael Gove model... I've a feeling I'll be tweaking him all week! The great thing about working on something this scale is it's pretty portable. I enjoyed working on the park bench today, yesterday's highlight was working outside of Costa Coffee on the high street and on Friday Michael's bust even managed to find it way onto the Waltzer at Scarborough Fair with myself and Jade Motserrat! Random...

Hopefully I'll have the model finished this week and be able to press on making some plaster moulds ready to start slipcasting. 

Thanks to Jade Montserrat for the photograph.

I really enjoyed the Private View for Jade Montserrat's current exhibition Market Prices. A very busy and popular night at Crescent Arts. The exhibition went down a storm. My favourite is the complete wall of boxes and the catalogue. The wall feels monumental in scale, standing underneath it one is left feeling overwhelmed.
