Bortusk Leer

I went to this exhibition today after a phone call saying there's a giant blue knitted man in this gallery and you need to see it. It's really fun, there is indeed a knitted man and downstairs is an aladdin's cave of crazy creatures and spray paint. I think my favourite sprayed slogan had to be 'UV he he he'. It's at Tony's Gallery off Brick Lane until the 26th June. Go and see it if you can or there's lots of good flickr pictures here.

Art Smart

I'm going to be taking part in the University of the Arts London Art Smart Fair this July. I'll have my knitters jewellery there and I'll be bringing along some of my knitted characters. It's also an ideal opportunity to make some new work that I've been thinking about lately. The plan is that it will be tiny, knitted and horrible. Probably a series of curious little boxes and cauldrons filled with bizarre knitted things. I thought I'd share this photo of todays research materials... and I'm planning to post regular pictures of my creations!
