JJ Ignatius Brennan: March 2013
http://jjignatiusbrennan.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 27, 2013. Affecting Perception: Art and Neuroscience. I’ve just returned from being involved in a fascinatingly different art project which may very well make me look at my artistic practice in a new way. Affecting Perception: Art and Neuroscience. Is an exhibition and a series of seminars. It brings together examples of work by artists with different neurological conditions such as Alzheimer’s, Dementia, Autism, Asperger syndrome and, in my case, Migraine. Tuesday, March 19, 2013.

Lois Walpole: December 2014
https://loiswalpole.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, 11 December 2014. These straw decorations were on sale in Lidl recently for 2.99€ the box, but it didn't say where they came from, just that there were 56 pieces made of natural straw in the box and that 'these are not toys! So it gave me an excuse to do a bit of online research. So, my first task, using the information provided on the box, was to check out the name of the brand 'Melinera'. So, the next search was for images of ' straw christmas decorations'. Having seen that the same boxes wer...

https://loiswalpole.blogspot.com/2015/05/ghostly-communications.html
Friday, 29 May 2015. This week has been entertaining. last Friday, and completely by chance, we learned that the proposals JJ Ignatius Brennan and I submitted in March for two large outdoor installations were selected at the time for an exhibition that opens next week. but no one thought to tell us! Hopefully we will get another opportunity to create the pieces. Labels: In the studio. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Click the picture to go to loiswalpole.com. 27 February - 10 April 2016.

Lois Walpole: July 2015
https://loiswalpole.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 14 July 2015. Over the last couple of months I have been walking in the surrounding countryside to get some exercise. A back problem has prevented me from doing any proper sport for over a year now and I think my tennis life is finally over. It was possibly the cause of all the bother in the first place and I can't just play tennis for 'fun'. what is the point? The grass is certainly greener when it is growing.

Lois Walpole: Addiction and Obsession
https://loiswalpole.blogspot.com/2015/06/addiction-and-obsession.html
Monday, 22 June 2015. Every time I drive through Chez Audebert past the garden of Gabriel Albert on the way to the coast, I am reminded of addiction and obsession. It seems there is a fine line between acceptable and unacceptable addiction or obsession. We tend to regard obsessive compulsive behaviour as undesirable and have called it a 'disorder', but many of the people whose work gives us pleasure, in one way or another, have to be compulsively obsessive in order to be good at what they do. Peninsula A...

Lois Walpole: February 2015
https://loiswalpole.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Friday, 13 February 2015. A Family of Baskets. Knowing I am interested in old baskets, Neil, a friend and professional electrician, brought these baskets for me to look at. He spotted them in the loft of an old farm in Charente, Limousin that had just changed hands and where he was working on the renovation. The previous owners were 'paysans' and these baskets were obviously made to be used on the smallholding. He wasn't interested in whether they knew their scales or could read sheet music, all that mat...

Lois Walpole: October 2014
https://loiswalpole.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 22 October 2014. Effort - Less is More. 2007 willow and plastic lids. Sometimes, I just have to accept that it isn't going to work in the way that I hope it will and a whole weeks work has to be abandoned. That happened last Friday and the minute I made that decision and started something else it all flowed smoothly again. Labels: In the studio. Sunday, 12 October 2014.
