Great news from my neighbour just 10 minutes ago, my exhibition 'Void' that took place over the Easter weekend in Aldeburgh is in the local newspaper. My neighbour has kindly given me her copy. I had to retrieve it from under her sleeping cat so any ideas of fame and fortune have been put in [...]

  This animation was created over the 3 day weekend and shows the growth of a concrete landscape that is made up from packaging that was brought along by participating audience.

What an amazing 3 days, wonderful weather (If a little cold), great conversations with an excellent audience of friends, family and friendly strangers. Excited how some of these chance encounters will turn [...]

What do you call an artist without an assistant? …Lost!

April 18, 2014 AndyGLeave a comment

Some photographs that my wonderful wife took last night of me setting up my exhibition and then sitting in an exhausted heap at the end of the installation. She really is an excellent artist assistant and much needed calming influence, where would I be without her...everyone should have one :)

In my exhibition at The Lookout, Aldeburgh next week I will be exploring issues surrounding waste packaging. What impact does this waste have on our world? Where does it all come from? As I mentioned in a previous post, the quantity of waste packaging per person in the UK is at a staggering 175kg a year. Only 25% is [...]

Art is rubbish

April 12, 2014April 10, 2014 AndyGLeave a comment

In my upcoming exhibition 'Void - The landscape of waste packaging' I use rubbish as the basis and form of my sculptures. I also use everyday concrete to create these molds from packaging. Throughout history artists have found beauty in the ugly and mundane and used the unwanted waste of others to create art. For [...]

Wasteful society

April 11, 2014April 10, 2014 AndyGLeave a comment

As I mentioned yesterday my upcoming exhibition 'Void - The landscape of waste packaging' is all about the permanence of waste packaging in landfill. As a nation we produce some of the highest amounts of waste packaging per capita in Europe. Although many successful initiatives exist to promote the recycling of our waste packaging the [...]

April 10, 2014April 10, 2014 AndyGLeave a comment

In my upcoming exhibition called 'Void - The landscape of waste packaging' I have used concrete to create mini sculptures from the forms, shapes and patterns found in everyday waste packaging.

The old man, the suitcase and the boot sale

June 6, 2013 AndyGLeave a comment

I was browsing a car boot sale at Friday Street Farm Shop, Suffolk, when I spotted this little suitcase. The colours are very much my kind of thing I thought, I bet I can't afford it. Looking up I saw an old boy approach. He obviously thought this item was a bit of rubbish to [...]
