Over the past few weeks I’ve been spending time creating observational studies in pencil and watercolour. They are reflections on the nature of the light as it alters through the day on the tiled facade of our building at Tate St Ives. The tiles were hand-glazed in multiple layers of green and blue onto pale yellow ceramic. Tilted gently upward they capture the light and shifting sky of St Ives. In series – Dusk – Midday – Dawn. These studies are, as has been noted, very much influenced by the work of the great Agnes Martin, who is without a doubt one of my favourite artists. But for me they remain architectural drawings, grounded in the language of the measured drawing and material representation. @tate @tatestives #tatestives #watercolour #elevations #cornwall #ceramics #glaze #architecture #architecturedrawings #measureddrawing #ephemeral #shifting

Following on from my last post I thought I would share the material explorations we did in the studio for the ceramic cladding for the Dublin house. The first three shots are of a study where 16 pieces were hand cut in foam at 1:1 but with a reduced height. These allowed us to study the effect of various stacking formations. The last three photos are of a 1:1 study we made in the studio in clay. The form was made by dragging a cut timber plate across the surface of the wet clay, simulating the extrusion process. Next to it, in the last shot, is the first prototype in a pale ceramic, that @ceramicacumella produced from our design. #architecture #ceramic #ceramicstudy #clay #experimentation #contemporaryarchitecture #dublin #house

What a difficult task I was set yesterday! Nine young people, all under 19, spoke for 10 minutes each about a work of art they admire. Nine amazing, passionate and powerful talks, and I was asked to adjudicate, deciding who would go forward to the London finals. The whole uk wide event is called ARTiculation, and it is an inspired initiative; giving young people a platform to hone there skills in public speaking and the confidence to put their own ideas forward with clarity and passion. What an amazing thing to see. But horrible to chose two to go forward when, honestly, they were all amazing. Thank you to the team of ARTiculation for making this great event happen all across the UK. #articulationprise #articulation #art #arthistory #publicspeaking #v&a https://www.articulation.org.uk/. @articulationprize

Thanks to Tim Offer Architects for posting this. Working with Joe and Máirín and their two girls on their home in County Clare Ireland, way back in 2005/2007 was a great experience. Repost @timofferarchitects with @get_repost
