Phrenology (grandma) old enough to know better

The third phrenology head from the Red Riding Hood trio - terrible photographs unfortunately, taken in bad light before I took it to New York. The three have been to Scope Art Fair now and are now on exhibit at Jack the Pelican in Brooklyn.

Phrenology - (Red Riding Hood) Small Enough to be Eaten

The second head in the new Phrenology series of 3 for Scope Art Fair in New York.I'm taking the heads to New York myself on Monday so now I'll have a chance to see the rest of the exhibits. Will post photos when I get back.

Phrenology - (Wolf) Big Enough to Eat You

This is the first in a new series of Phrenology pieces. This one is based on a wolf, the other two in this new set are rabbits. I'm adding final details to the others but will post them soon. I'm working against the clock - but hopefully these will be showing at the Scope Art Fair in New York with Gallery 'Jack the Pelican Presents'. The first Phrenology series will also be transferring to 'Jack the Pelican' when the 'Pricked: Extreme Embroidery' exhibition closes on the 28th of April

'we make money not art'

Just a quickie. I love the 'we make money not art' website and they've just done a great review of the 'Pricked: Extreme Embroidery' exhibition. Please click to see the review and have a look around the fantastic site.

scraps for phrenology

I'm working on another set of phrenology heads - each head is stitched into and appliqued with printed texts and images from my sketchbooks. This is part of a set of sketchbook pages I'm using for the current work.

pricked: extreme embroidery exhibition pictures

Well I didnt take many photos at the opening and when I went back the next day I was only allowed to photograph my own work in situ. But here are a few snaps anyway - and a link to a review in the New York Times.
