Andy Holden: Chewy Cosmos Thingly Time – Events – Kettle’s Yard— Read on http://www.kettlesyard.co.uk/events/andy-holden-chewy-cosmos-thingly-time/ Always love the way Andy Holden pulls to gather his ”output” in to some meaningful exhibition.

Week 28: The Rice Bowl.
My Grandmother had a rice bowl bought back by my great Uncle Tom along with a Hamadan rug from the 14- 18 war – my mother remembers lying on the rug while the diamond patterns of light from the hall way window played a cross it’s red and yellow surface. In the summer the family…
Week 28: Bowls. Research-musical.
Well I had never heard that version. Looks like bowls have a direct sexual connection. We are back to needs- Bessie Smith – Need A Little Sugar In My Bowl (1931) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meuwKhPGItk She really is not going to take her bowl around to the neighbour to be filled….I hope- https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2008/jul/12/popandrock.film. I think they are being…
Week 28: Where am I in my work.
The whole question is bugging me, probably I’m too close to see myself in my work, maybe you don’t have to be in your work. I realise why I just respond or simply work objectively. Without that I have no set of rules no direction or finishing point. The relationship between myself and the object…

Week 28:What changes our mood makes us think positively.
I’ve been listening and reading Richard Noble’s collected essays on Utopia. I want to find ways of producing “art” that creates positive reactions/elevates everyday things. I know food is a good way to feed the body. Good food leaves us with memories that we revisit. That would be taste. Smells, sounds, Vision and touch do…
Week 28:Kiefer and Riely
Bridget Riely- https://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/whats-on/exhibitions/hayward-gallery-art/bridget-riley#overview Aslam Kiefer-https://whitecube.com/exhibitions/exhibition/anselm_kiefer_bermondsey_2019 It was interesting. Both shows different but both mood changing and in the case of the Bridget Riley my daughter had a migraine. The Kiefer was more her speed colour wise and she loved the mysticism. One Riley caught my eye and I thought Motherwell. I really liked this piece….
Week 27:Surprised by a plant.
The sent is so strong that all my thoughts have flown. I am completely engulfed by the sweet smell- honey white flowers yogurt.feminine. I would not have to put in the paint just stand a pot near by.
