Terroir (i)

From a conceptual perspective it's important to me that the materials used in the 'Concrete Truth' series were representative of the environment they were created in. As concrete is one of the most ubiquitous, and utilitarian building materials I often use it in my work.

I hadn't used clay up to this point, but when visiting Marrakech for an Agents of Change group show last May, I was amazed by the impact 'the Red City' has on its visitors. The surrounding area is famed for its deep red clay and the buildings in the old city are simply a continuation of this landscape.

During the trip I arranged to carry out a mini project at a pottery studio half way between Marrakech and the Atlas mountains. The artisans were extremely hospitable including me in all their lunch breaks. Many a tagine was cooked by the kiln – I love Moroccan food so this made the journey a reason in itself.

There is more work in the 'Terroir series' to come.

Unfolding – Work in Progress

In five weeks time the Agents of Change group show 'Unfolding' opens at David Bloch Gallery in Marrakech. The David Bloch Gallery has built a reputation for showing quality work by artists who've progressed from graffiti into contemporary work. I'm looking forward to being a part of this legacy alongside fellow AoC members – Carlos Mare, Derm, Jaybo Monk, LX One and Remi Rough.

The show opens 10th May and the artists, as well as Tim our producer (and other crew), will be making the trip to sunny Morocco. If you can make it, we'd love to see you there... and if not you can find all the info and pricelists etc. by contacting the gallery.

I'll be posting finished images of the work shortly. In the meantime here's some WIP shots from the studio...
