Chris Ofili exhibition

Impressive exhibition at Tate Britain of Manchester-born artist who won Turner prize in 1998.  Uses variety of media, including decorated balls of elephant dung. My favourites were his beautiful liquid small-scale watercolours, Afromuses (1995-2005) with areas of intense colour within the varying shades of brown.

Didn't See It Coming


This book has been on sale in Magma bookshop, Manchester, since last year. It is a collaboration between Stockport  & Kingston college illustration students, with images based on the consequences idea of interchangeable heads, bodies and legs.  My colander-head features in it.

I also did a project a couple of years ago, set by the 'Leonard Cheshire Disability', which used the idea of consequences for a set of beermats (showing 6 interchangeable characters).
