Hmmm this morning’s conundrum, home from the gym and these parts I have been playing with start to pull themselves together, the top brick and airbrick need some work, the question is do I leave it on the the big plank base ? . . . . art #artistsoninstagram #cottononmcr #sculpture #contemporarysculptor #contemporaryabstractart #contemporaryart #wip #totem #monument

Doing the weekly clean down of my studio, which happens more and more often these days. I find my self distracted with this new assembly. . . . . art #artist #artistsoninstagram #cottononmcr #sculpture #sculptureart #contemporarysculptor #contemporaryart #contemporaryartist #artefact #brick #seppalwood #wip #wipart #wipartwork
I’m supposed to be tidying my studio again, having backed myself in to a corner, I find myself contemplating bits of brick and wood. . . . . art #artistsoninstagram #artist #cottononmcr #wood #brick #sculptures #sculpture #contemporaryabstractart #contemporarysculptor #contemporaryart #fragment #artefacts #wip #studio #artstudio #kunst

So I will admit I have gained a lot from this new direction in work. From being uptight about perfection I have learnt to embrace the idea of play. It’s amazing how a group of components when placed together become something totally different, humble pieces of wood, brick and stone become something more when stacked and balanced in a specific way. . .

I’m currently contemplating and cogitating on these two, I’m conscious I need a break to focus on my daughter but these keep calling to me. . . . . art #artistsoninstagram #cottononmcr #bricks #oak #sculpture #totem #figurativeart #remanants #sculpture #contemporarysculptor #contemporaryart #studio #atelier #wip #wipart
Unable to sleep thank the lord for my studio. 2am and I’m chipping away at bricks. This is coming together nicely. . Concrete, brick, roofing rubber all items found in either a skip or in my naighbour Callum or @michael_frank_winnie gardens. . . art #artistsoninstagram #studio #wip #ceramics #bricks #concrete #statue #sculpture #contemporaryart #contemporarysculpture #cottononmcr
But then it can all come crashing down thanks to a knocked surface. Destruction happens nothing is ever really set in stone as all around us is constantly changing. We have to look past the rocky patches, we have to get used to let downs and find a new way of being. Find beauty in the simplest and some times the crudest things in life Memories of Moore 1,2 and now 3. . .
