I've been following Matthew Chambers incredible work for more years than I care to mention. The work gets better and better, more and more refined, tighter, tauter, more weighty, with every year that goes by. I cant wait to go and say hello at the Binnel Open Studios here in the Isle of Wight next weekend. This weekend is also free so if anyone has any recommendations for Isle of Wight artists that I should go and see then please let me know.

I wish I'd watched the BBC Arena documentary on Cindy Sherman before seeing her show at The National Portrait gallery - it adds fascinating context and detail that is lacking in the NP presentation and has given me a whole new level of appreciation for the @cindysherman instagram account. .

Thanks to @stephenellcock posting an incredible collage of a woman sunbathing under the moon, I have been introduced to the collage work of Jacques Prévert and I am now officially obsessed! Prévert (1900-1977) it turns out, was a French lyricist, poet, wrote plays and did a wonderful, weird and at times quite dark sideline in collage. "Part of the Surrealists’ circle in his youth, this fiercely independent yet politically committed man would maintain throughout his life strong ties with a number of friends who were prominent 20th-century artists, and develop an extensive and wonderfully varied body of work that is shot through with humor, fantasy, and a complete disregard for conformity. Starting in the mid-1940s, with the encouragement of Joan Miró and Pablo Picasso, Prévert became an enthusiastic practitioner of collage. He would hunt for his images at flea markets and the booksellers along the Seine. His favorite sources included old engravings, anatomical and botanical plates, chromolithographs, popular or devotional images, reproductions of paintings by grand masters, postcards, pages from magazines, and photographs by his friends Brassaï, Doisneau, Izis and Villers. From this raw material, he would compose new images, playing with unexpected juxtapositions that transform platitudes and commonplaces, redirect and reappropriate expected meanings, and disorient viewers". You can say that again. I love. 🖤

I started this day in a slightly bah humbuggy kind of way and am determined to finish it off giving something back. I realise I have never actually posted something directly about the incredible paintings of @kerlinfine_art. Each work is slightly off focus and whilst your brain tells you you know exactly what you are seeing the unfocussing of the image insists for you to look closer, that everything might not be what it seems, that this out of focus image may (or may not) suggest there is something blurry or 'off kilter' about this person's life. These are paintings of exquisite beauty that remind us daily that life is not black and white, it is not on and off, it is not 'on point' most of the time, things are not always crystal clear (they are often murky), there is not always clarity - most of the time we occupy a space somewhere in the middle, muddling along, making it up as we go along, even sometimes just in the 'in between' - kind of in the twilight zone. Most of us have something from our past that makes us much more complex than we first appear. Mostly though what I love about each of Sherry's paintings is that Sherry knows exactly what back story they all have. Whether the artist decides on this back story before she embarks on the painting or whether it emerges through the paint I dont know, but Sherry is an acute observer of human nature and for me, what I think it the true genius of this work is that I see an element of myself in every painting - however flawed, damaged, vain or vulnerable that might be. .

One of the most incredible experiences of my and @vasfsf’s career bringing to life the conceptual drawings of the Teetertotter Wall from 2009 in an event filled with joy, excitement, and togetherness at the borderwall. The wall became a literal fulcrum for U.S. - Mexico relations and children and adults were connected in meaningful ways on both sides with the recognition that the actions that take place on one side have a direct consequence on the other side. Amazing thanks to everyone who made this event possible like Omar Rios @colectivo.chopeke for collaborating with us, the guys at Taller Herrería in #CiudadJuarez for their fine craftsmanship, @anateresafernandez for encouragement and support, and everyone who showed up on both sides including the beautiful families from Colonia Anapra, and @kerrydoyle2010, @kateggreen , @ersela_kripa , @stphn_mllr , @wakawaffles, Chris Gauthier and many others (you know who you are). #raelsanfratello #borderwallasarchitecture .

Sometimes I have to pinch myself about how long I have known some artists. Surely neither of us are that old? Peter Jones is one. Peter, I swear, looks not one day older than the day I had a little salon privé for him over 10 years ago. I still ADORE his work. And there is a part of me that cant quite get her head around the fact that he is still in my life but the ex isn't. I would never have pegged that back then. Hey ho. Let's just look at these beautiful oils on paper. I want all of them. .

Our jaws dropped when we saw this work mocked up on my client's wall and it has been such a privilege to secure a number of works for my collectors pre preview from this incredible new body of work from Sarah Ball. The work, which explores the subject of Self through many lenses is not only jaw droppingly beautiful but is deeply thought provoking too. It doesn't get better than this. Congratulations to Sarah and Joe for such an amazing show. 🙏🙏🙏

Kids hang out room. 'Chill' was already there so we decided to put one of these iconic 'Work Hard & Be Nice to People' either side of the chimney breast - one for each boy. Subliminal parenting even when they are playing drums! Perfect! .

Happening now big Fuck Boris street party

Photo London. May 2015. Personally I found Boris to be one of the most charismatic, funny and dead sexy men I have ever met. Ok shoot me. But he made me weak at the knees. Look at what a cute couple we made!!!! Matching hair. Adorable. 😂😂😂😂😂🤣

Does our increasing consumption of ‘art as entertainment’ affect our relationship with art in the home? #artcollector #artblog #artsblogger #artbloggerscommunity #artblogging #artfulblogging #theweatherproject #olafureliasson #tate #artoftheday #artday #artdaysout #artdays #louisawarfield_artconsultancy #nowheretobeseenin2003

Fascinating article in the @thestmagazine today. Photographer Danny Burrows has spent several months living with the Bruderhof communities - self sufficient, family orientated and where they relinquish all possessions, money and status. His conclusion? "In some way the Bruderhof face fewer everyday struggles than the rest of us. Money worries do not exist - having nothing, like everyone else must be liberating. the care of children and the elderly is shared. If this were how care in the community worked in the rest of Britain, we might be in a better place". This girl prepares for a night of camping alone in the woods as part of her field craft studies. Wowsers. Teaching young girls independence, how to be alone, how to be self sufficient. Duke of Edinburgh's this is not (have they shortened the routes from when we did it by the way?) and I can't help but think there is something in this. I posted on my story today a very useful course for women and in doing so realised I cant do half the things on the list. And I feel sick too about how much I coveted that Loewe basket yesterday. I still have a long way to go.

NEW PERSONAL PROJECT

I have been welcomed into the Bruderhof, a pacifist Christian community, and am working on a long term personal project documenting their lives in the 100th anniversary year of their formation.
I hope to spend many weeks in 2019 living in community with them to create a comprehensive and honest body of work.
Thanks to everyone I have met on the journey so far.

Urgh. Ive spent a very dangerous afternoon catching up reading my Crafts magazine and have found myself instastalking eveything to do with these beautiful @loewe baskets. Surely this has to be an art consultant's perfect bag. Plenty of space for a business card, phone and my tape measure. What more could a girl need? .

$I've just stumbled on this photo from a client I worked with more years ago than I care to admit (lets say it was in the first 5 years of my 15 years of experience)!!! I often joke that I have made up my job (well I kind of did) so its oddly reassuring to see that I still love the work I placed back then in my making-it-up-a-bit-as-I-go-along-days, even though I knew a mere fraction of what I do now. I guess this is because even though I know more, the one thing I have always done is only place work I love for a space and that is, luckily, enduring. And it still makes me smile when I bump into the client's husband and he says 'God Turner, I still love that Hoffer on the stairs' and I think that even though I know a lot more now - I'd like to think I'd still back myself to have placed that piece there even now and that makes me very happy indeed. 😊 . . .
