Mark Boulos interview
October 31st, 2013
Last month I met artist Mark Boulos in the FACT cafe. Over a few cups of morning slow roasted coffee, we talked about his past video documentary video projects and his newly commissioned work, Echo. Afterwards, I transcribed it and sent it over to Corridor8 who have put it online. Here is that interview: http://www.corridor8.co.uk/online/interview-mark-boulos
Liz West essay
October 6th, 2013
To coincide with Liz West’s solo exhibition On Brown & Violet Grounds - held at Piccadilly Place, Manchester (25 September – 2 October) – I wrote an essay entitled: Schauen: The Work of Liz West.
The essay charts the development of West’s recent work and her engagement with colour theory. It can be read in its entirety on the writing section of my site.
