Nether
5 September 2013

This was the last painting I finished, and it is called 'Nether'...
I have some small fragments of news in connection with the forthcoming exhibition. I decided in the end that I would make stickers of that blue plaque thing, so they'll be being given away, as will a stack of Universal Sigh newspapers which I discovered under a table in my now desperately untidy studio. So if anyone failed to get one back whenever it was (in 2011?) that they were given out, now's your chance to complete your collection of weird ephemera associated with Radiohead.
I'm pretty sure that the exhibition will have the paintings upstairs and the drawings downstairs; there are about two dozen original drawings, including the large Avenues I've been doing, as well as various early sketches for the Holloway book which date from soon after the strange trip I took to Dorset.
The original drawings I made for the book will be exhibited, but not the open edition of letterpress prints of the images, which are still available from Caught by the River, here. (Scroll down a bit, oh and yeah, I've got to print some more of the second image)
Then there are the laser-etched 'prints' made at the Centre for Fine Print Research in Bristol, which are really something. I hope to continue working with them.
I'm probably not going to 'up-date' this blog again until after the show, so goodbye. I hope that you're able to come to have a look. 19th September until the 19th October, 8 Greek Street, Soho, London...
