what is contemporary about contemporary art? by kate busby
Posted on January 30, 2013 Leave a Comment
Every now and then I like to include works by other artists, and sometimes writers too, on PrettyGreenBullet. This is a piece by Kate Busby who I met six weeks ago. It was originally sent to me via email as a casual rant, the version of which I am using in my latest work titled […]
kiss & cut } inverse and obverse
Posted on January 29, 2013 5 Comments
Last night I had an idea to inverse a section of one of my recent journal entries, many of which are white on black, producing a negative effect. I often accidentally press ‘command i’ (invert) instead of ‘option command i’ (resize image); the effect of which, although always undone, is quite pleasing. To me, a […]

Oh I’m so happy with this latest development. Why haven’t I thought of this earlier? I think I did once upon a time and just never saw it through. I could do this forever.

My little cousin was on the plane with me a couple of nights ago. She saw my sketchbook and asked me, ‘Do you draw every day?’ I immediately said, ‘Yes’. Without even thinking. Even though I hadn’t drawn a thing is days. Was that a lie? Or just circumstances which kept me from what I […]

AJ, AJ, AJ. He just took the tap experience up a few notches. He and his partner in crime Carles (one shoots, the other hones) keep outdoing themselves with every photo. Funny thing is, I was in public every time I saw one of their posts. The first two times my jaw dropped (not literally […]

If you’re wondering about TheTravelingTap series, you can read about it here. It would be so cool if you could take part. So far I have four in circulation: one is in Goa, one is in Beirut, and one is in California. This one is in London, soon on her way to Barcelona. If only I […]

I have a show coming up at the Tilal Gallery in March and I have just one work done. I think I can say with all confidence that I am in deep poopoo. I have no title for this exhibition, nor a specific direction. I’m currently working on the second piece and thinking: maybe I […]

a blast from the very near past } a behind-the-scenes look at pgb3

Here are some PGB3 preparation pictures that I didn’t print with the first onslaught of PGB3 photos. I just figured that people had ODed on the show. So a few behind-the-scenes shots taken by Faisal Al Fouzan who was kind enough to come and promote my exhibition through his brilliant photos. There are a couple […]
JAMM art auction tonight
Posted on November 29, 2012 1 Comment
I got a bit of an anxiety spell last night when I remembered tonight’s JAMM art auction. Being the control freak that I am, I’m a little out of my comfort zone when it comes to putting my work under the gavel. I couldn’t go to the preview last night and had no idea how […]

I was recently commissioned by two pgb3 visitors to create two chairs each. Here are three of those four chairs. I’m not taking any more orders but I will be leaving my mark on other furniture so stay tuned ;).

Last October I got an idea for an Instagram series: send my tapestries to different people around the world to be Instagrammed. Something about the idea of letting go of my work, eventually to total strangers four, five, six degrees separated from me, both enthralled me and terrified me. But I had to let go […]
