Exhibition: The sound of the life of the mind

My exhibition opens to the public today. It’s not really about football, but it does feature ‘Ka-Powell!’, after it was kindly voted for by people from the football Twitter-sphere.

“How do I it?” (I’m asking on your behalf – you’re welcome!) I use electrical tape to draw with. I started drawing with electrical tape because when I was preparing for my first ever public exhibition – fourteen years ago – I had no money and I just happened to find some laying around. I still have no money, a theme that I’m pleased to say has stuck, and electrical tape is only 62p a roll (my show cost £2.48 and there’s tape leftover for next time). I make this point because I know people think they don’t have the time or money for creative pursuits.

The Exhibition:

People exhibiting are asked to fill out a short questionnaire, that is displayed beside their work. This is mine…

ARTIST’S QUESTIONNAIRE

Why is creativity important to you?

There’s a lot of time when I’m not eating and sleeping – why would I want to waste any of it on things that don’t matter?

 Tell us about your show:

The title is a slightly pretentious way of saying, “some of the stuff of my life”, and is stolen from the lyrics of a song that I’ve been listening to a lot recently, so it fits quite neatly. I draw football things mostly, I hate The Sun newspaper and I love my cat Casey more than she will ever understand.

 Where can we find out more about your work?

I’m a football blogger (who isn’t?) and regularly post new pictures on my site www.bifurcated.co.uk

Here’s some pictures of the exhibition: three drawings spread over the three walls of the space…
