Charles Merewetherin 'Art and the Archive' (Documents of Contemporary Art) -

"In 'Archives of the Fallen' I briefly describe the practice of three Latin American artists; Rosangela Renno, Milagros de la Torre and Eugine Dittborn, each of whom seek to recover photographic traces of the bodies of those consigned to dissapear to the archive. They question what photography resembles and forgets, and for whom and for what purpose. in doing so they detabalise its authority as a technology of rememberance."

Work in progress

Since I made this blog to write about and show my work, I should probably start putting some pictures on here...

I make photographs in the darkness of the dark, darkroom. In my delightfully messy studio I erase parts of them, draw on them and paint on them.

I often make work in sequences, using the same image over and over, but manipulating each individual photograph differently to produce works that share a starting point, but are essentially different.
Things that are happening now:

Ok, now on to the 'difficult second post'.

I'm an artist, currently in my third year at Manchester School of Art, so I'll be using this blog to write about my work, and show you pictures of it, and try and get you to come and look at it.

I also currate shows and put on various art events, some rather surreal. So I'll be banging on about that too.

I'm the co-organiser of Manchester Art Crawl, a project devised by myself and a few friends which aims to take over the many closed down shops and businesses around the city centre, thus revitalising these abandoned spaces and creating temporary gallery spaces. You can read about last year's Art Crawl, which was part of the fantastic Not Part Of Festival, here, if you do Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?gid=77676014799&ref=ts
There will be another Crawl happening at the end of the summer, so watch this space.

In the mean time, here's a picture of some cold buttered toast
