So as my solo show looms closer I am in the process of tying up all the threads of the Odyssey: Explorations project with Tate Liverpool - I live in a constant state of overlap! Yesterday I uploaded the documentary film which gives an overview of the whole project and I hope that will make sense...
I think  that I must have a deep seated urge towards complexity. So the project encompassed community workshops in London and Liverpool, the interactive exhibition art Tate Exchange Liverpool; this included the creation of an 'island' made by the participating artists, collateral events such as discussions about the theme of Odyssey from health, literary and evolutionary perspectives, VR training for the participating artists, volunteers, the creation of my pathway digital artwork in VR and the showcase exhibition at Tate in August. God, I feel tired even listing all the elements.....but it was a total buzz.

The digital installation will be included in my solo show at Candid Arts Trust which opens on 6 November.
The links below will take you to the documentary film about the project and to the film of the digital installation with soundtrack by Alan Stones.

In the run up to'Young Gunn' at Candid Arts Trust my house is in Chaos, I'm spending hours website building,varnishing and looking for stuff I've mislaid and I'm late sending out my first batch of invitations! So the usual pre solo show panic most artists will identify with! here's an image of a Chinese pleasure boat back in the 19th century - the kind of thing that I find moving in a way I can't quite understand....I could do with a few days lounging on a sampan right now...
