Southport Weekender Archive
I have been dancing, - and drawing The Dance - live at Southport Weekender since I first visited at it’s original location at Pontins, Southport in year 2000, through the Minehead Butlins years, to it’s current location at Butlins, Bognor Regis (via it’s satelite festival Suncebeat in Croatia). That’s 23 years of drawing/painting live on location in real time. What began as a bunch of ‘live art’ experimental drawings has been transformed by the project’s longevity into a robust visual archive evoking the spirit of the musical-dancikal event whilst also marking and celebrating it’s persistence and development.
Redman
Made in the studio in 2007, with ref. to earlier 'live' charcoal drawings made on site in the Bacardi B-Bar at Southport Weekender. The original 'Redman' is in the collection of Sacha Bernardis.I made a copy using identical materials, which is still in my possession. The Giclee prints are made from the original 1st version. Pastel on Canson paper. 75cm x 55cm. 2007
