Fluxface in Space with NASA




Major William A.Anders, USAF, Apollo 8 Mission.
Found Imagery and stickers.

These are a selection of new works that I have created for an exhibition in USA . You were asked to submit images to do with space, be it travel, exploration, planets or what ever you wanted it to be. I decided to work with found imagery of the Apollo 8 space programme, embellished with silver, gold, black and white glittery stickers, so it looked sci-fi and space like !
As part of the exhibition I was asked to take a photo of me holding my image, I decided to become a subtle part of the art work.

New Ideas

I have recently co-opted my sister into helping me with my postcards. She goes out for half an hour a day, from her busy job, and buys my postcards and stickers for me. She does all of this following my texted instructions, what to purchase, how much to spend. She then posts all the new images to me so I can then work on them. I then re-post the completed images to her so we close the circle. My sister lives over 100 miles from me.
My sister is not an artist, so this is a test for both of us.

Queen Elizabeths I & II

Here are the companion pieces for Prince Charles and D.I.A.N.A postcards. You can see more of this work at the show 'Paris correspondence school' in and around Paris in August. you can also see the work on my website.

The postcards designed by participating artists will be used as interventions around Paris during August whilst all artists and curators involved will write to each other using the postcards as well as alter them and re-send them on etc.

The postcards will then be exhibited in London in September in association with Minnie Weisz and in Birmingham in December at TROVE.

Lost In The Post ( or intercepted by C.I.A.)



Prince Charles arrived in the post from USA recently, but his companions The Queen and HRH Princess Diana have mysteriously not arrived. I am worried that they have been intercepted by USA forces and I am now on some bizarre watch list held between C.I.A. and MI6, life is always full of little surprises. Watch this space for up-dates to see if they arrive and are not just on a cruise in the Med.

D.I.A.N.A



These are two new images inspired by my time in New York, I was looking at all things Gold, Times Square, Fanelli's bar and The Empire State Building. I bought a myriad of new stickers as well, and found a few on the street to use. I am really excited by this new work.

New York Queens and Birds

These are some of the ideas I have been working on whilst in New York. I have recently been thinking about birds and Queens and how they are completely unrelated, apart from in my head and their visual aesthetic. You can see the full updates here

New York New York

What a wonderful city it is, I close my eyes and see gold and bright, shiny objects. I have made a whole set of new work whilst in New York, buying even more day-glo, shiny, sparkly stuff to affix to my postcards. I posted these from New York, so they are a-winging their way to England, some how. Some have already arrived, so they will be appearing here soon.
