Sudoku Poetry Series (whole set) - prints now available here on Saatchi Online:

The Sudoku Poetry series is a portrait of a man, comprised of a set of 9 (doable) sudoku puzzles precisely filled up with a phrase or sentence, thus making a new puzzle.

Whilst they are not initially easy to read, perseverance is rewarded. They are available individually, but should ideally be viewed as a whole set, with each piece representing a characteristic or thought of the protagonist.

Hello folks. My brand new Christmas project, “Thirty-One”, is ready to go and you can follow it here: http://thirtyoneinstallation.tumblr.com/

It’s a storytelling advent calendar based on the work of Vladimir Propp, who broke down folktales into 31 possible stages. It’s a series of small doors which I’ve installed in the University of Sheffield, in Jessop West (Faculty of Arts and Humanities).

It will update every day with a new open door (Dec 1st - 31st), so “Follow” for your daily advent calendar fix. And if you’re in Sheffield, pop along and have a look at the real thing.

Check out the blog for lots more info, and if you like/reblog, you’ll make me disgustingly happy.

Once upon a time…

This work is an attempt to condense the basic premise of most folktales into one all-encompassing concept.
Before the nineteenth-century, pre-capitalist folktales or “Volksmärchen” were full of righteous aristocrats fending off evil, magic-wielding misanthropes. By the nineteenth-century, and with the rise of the middle-classes, these tales morphed into the bourgeois art form of the “Kunstmärchen”, and they became symbolic of the struggle against feudalism. For example, the witch in Hansel and Gretel represents the feudal lord who enjoys a life of plenty (she lives in a house made of food). She is literally feeding off the people and their children (she tries to cook them in the oven), an is a hoarder of wealth (when the children kill her, they find a stash of jewels and bring them back to the poor, hard-working woodcutter).
This piece is executed in cross-stitch on 18-point cream aida cloth.

I made this Infographic: Occurrences of “love” in titles of UK No1 singles 1952-2012.

I don’t know what it means.

Can anyone tell me?
