Antlers

239. Antlers in my work represent responsibility and stress.

14.8cm x 10cm

ever since I started my career (almost 10 years) I have had characters with antlers in every project / exhibition (I'm amazed its taken this long for them to appear here) I always explain to people that I use antlers to represent the burden and pressure of responsibility. right now, I'll be honest I'm feeling that burden.

An Image a day... for a year

The goal of this ambitious project is to produce one artwork a day for the entirety of 2014 and present each artwork here for all to see everyday.

The project will test the limits of my own creativity and the boundaries of inspiration, but that is what makes it both challenging and exciting. What I think interests me the most is the possibility of working with new mediums and techniques. For the past few years I've been working largely with traditional mediums such as paint, as my work has to be exhibited in a physical space. what is interesting about working for an online blog is that the artworks don't have to be physical, I'm very much looking forward to exploring digital and photographic techniques as well as my tried and tested traditional techniques such as paint and pencil.

Of course 2014 is the year of culture here on the Isle of Man and I'm extremely grateful to both the Isle of Man arts council and the Island of Culture for supporting this project.
