The Private View of the RSA exhibition was really wonderful last night, and a great opportunity to meet the other artists involved, such as Martin Stynes and Frank Creber, each interested in the urban environment from a different perspective. The space at the Portico Library is unique, and itself representing a romantic site within the harsh architectural contrasts of Manchester.
Photos of the exhibition are now online!

Great news, I got awarded a grant from The Sir Richard Stapley Educational Trust for the next academic year!!
I am currently working on a new piece, which will depart from pure painting and incorporate appropriated images in 'conversation' with the painting. Very exciting!

I will be doing a workshop with the BA Architecture students at Westminster University, consisting of a lecture, discussion and tutorials. The workshop will be on the topic of effective presentation methods for architects, and the rhetorical value of architectural representation. It will also touch on issues of motives and choices in creating images, thus very relevant to my reseach.
I'll also be doing tutorials with the 1st year students at the School of Media, Arts and Design, to which I'm really looking forward to!

Back in the studio... finally finish the official PhD proposal for registration! Time to get going with the research. My current project is a response to the Meanwhile London competition, whichs aims to regenerate Canning Town and the Royal Docks area. It's interesting how the local councils are looking for "temporary use" projects for three sites, in order to generate long-term interest and investment. Their aspiration is "local projects that reach a global audience", which sounds like a rather challenging project!

London has attracted many Polish people to its bright lights and opportunities. In this exhibition five young artists who have moved to Britain from Poland, explore different aspects of the City.
From Space is a unique arts space in the centre of Manchester, associated with Islington Mill and just outside of Spinningfields, it is a world to its own. The public are invited to draw every day at 2, and are encouraged to use the space to get on with some work, read, or join in with all sorts of projects happening by the fire.
