Three polaroids I like:
Rob with my dentist tools
My Apples
Silly glasses with shadow in NZ
apples
Apples, two years old
I have kept the Apples from my degree show piece - 'Sense' which was exhibited in the following shows:
Barcode, University College for the Creative Arts, Farnham, May 2008
Free Range, Truman Brewery, London, June 2008
Lucy Barfoot, Room 212, Bristol, January 2009
New Contemporaries, Fairfields Arts Centre, Basingstoke, January 2009
They are like tiny little rocks, and they don't smell any more. They are turning powdery - I wonder if one day they will just disappear? The blue and baby pink apples are three years old now. Older, but bigger. Must be something to do with the lacquer? I just spray painted those two and the others were covered in car lacquer, two coats.
Room 212 + New Contemporaries
This Saturday I showed my apples in the window of Room 212, which is a tiny Art Gallery in Bishopston, on the Gloucester Road. Three in each window, close to the glass so that people could peer at them and wonder what they are. This great little place is usually brimming with paintings; i got a few funny looks. Here's my profile on the Room 212 website.Today i was at Fairfields Art Gallery in Basingstoke setting up 'Sense' to show as part of the 'Young Contemporaries 2008' show. The circle or apples look a bit ridiculous to be honest. It's tiny! There is no impact. The original circle of the 1,200 will be included in the catalogue, so there will be a history shown.
