Next we will experiment with different shapes and patterns before designing our mandalas.  We will play with different painting techniques before colouring our mandala with a range of different materials provided for you.

For their 13th exhibition to date, The Tunnel plays upon the theme of fake news: convenience and manipulation in content delivery for the masses. The work explores the ability of language and images to alter perceptions of current events, history, time and ultimately identity.

We have entered an era where alternative facts and fake news are synonymous with journalism. Interestingly, albeit problematic, this is not a new phenomenon, it has merely been brought to light for most, as of late.

Orchestrated for consumption, information is carefully pieced together, visual decisions made, content dissected for convenient inclusion; all packaged in palatable bite-sized moments for the public. As Jacques Ranciere puts it, “knowledge is a commodity and we are all inadvertent consumers”.

“But where did knowledge exist? Only in His own consciousness, which in any case must soon be annihilated. And if all others accepted the lie which the party imposed-if all records told the same-then the lie passed into history and became truth.”
George Orwell

“The spectacle is not a collection of images; it is a social relation among people mediated by images.”

Guy Debord

The Tunnel is a collective of artists based mainly in London. The group came together in 2014 to explore common themes regarding the meaning and purpose in art and living in an ever polarised society. Through various art forms and mediums, they express a desire to unite philosophy, technology and literature with art.

2014 Art Calender

I have a thing for office supplies. Sad but true. I have a range of pens, pads, sticky notes and the like although I don’t use them as much as I thought I would when I got them:) It’s nice to be surrounded by pretty things in your work space don’t you think? I had some art desk calenders made a few months ago to showcase some of my favorite pieces (old and new) as well as those fans have told me they like.

In this limited edition, high quality, glossy desk calender you will find 14 colour photographs of recent and past work. They range from sensual and erotic to surreal and strange. A nice twist to the usual calenders you see!:) A great new year gift for yourself or a friend who likes something different:) Grab one here
