On the Allotment - Mile End Arts Pavilion

'On the Allotment'
One Off Ceramic Tile Series
Paul Conneally
Mile End Arts Pavilion, London, 2006

"Allotment holders on the Windmill Allotments in Nottingham talked with me about their time 'on the allotment' and shared with me ten words or short phrases that came to mind on that day, at that time, on the allotment. I then used these to create 'wordsearch portraits' of them. Their words were coloured using a strict system approach with each wordsearch being both a portrait and a poem of that person on their allotment at that time. The portraits were initially laid down on concrete paving stones within Windmill Community Gardens and then made into one off ceramic tiles which formed part of The Renewability exhibition at Mile End Arts Pavilion in London. After the show the tiles were returned to Windmill Community Gardens and installed on an open shed structure to become 'The Portrait Shed' where they slowly changed with the weather and the seasons eventually cracking, breaking, becoming crocks for plant pots."

Summer Shorts

In the hot afternoon it's good to escape into the shade of a city centre pub. A cool beer away from the hustle and bustle of the busy streets. Late enough to miss the lunchtime rush and too early for after work drinkers.

I sweat out a few thoughts.

Great evening at Nottingham Trent University art talk from Gavin Wade and then on to The Bath Inn a Fish and Chip pub and fab new art hangout! Gavin and Paul Conneally were joined there by artists Candice Jacobs, Rob Flint and Gerard (Gerry) Williams.

There's a buzz about the Midlands art scene - Birmingham, Nottingham, Loughborough, Derby, Leicester - the list is too long - the whole of THE MIDLANDS!
