What makes me excited.

The theatre, musicals, plays, CABARET, music, playing the violin, painting, creating performances, writing, avant guard performances in unusual places, arts galleries, contemporary ideas presented in various mediums, boxing, doing exercises on a fit ball( I love the fact that there are sooo many you can do, with just one ball), dancing, watching movies and extracting things from them in order to recreate performance, collecting scrap books full of ideas and looking into them for artistic motivation anytime I feel a little stuck for ideas, exploring other countries particularly Europe, Singing, Reading biographies of people who inspire me, eating foods from different cultures, dining in exclusive restaurants and indulging in all the flavors, taking risks and dressing up in obscure clothing, makeup and glitter when I go out to night clubs.

A possible Art project could involve creating a miniature village. The audience/visitors who come to view the installation would walk into buildings. The building would include:- A school, a shop, a family home, a music shop, a library, a gentleman's palour a canteen etc. Actors would conduct their every day activities in each building and the installation would be open for a 48hr period. It will be very interesting to see which building functions at different times of the day and/or night. Obviously there would be action in some places and nothing happening in others.

PRESentInG a pRedICtion And aRGUInG OnE

I think the next big thing will be sequins/glitter and sparkle things in men's fashion...quite sad but true. WHY? Well with the whole new 'metrosexual thing' the fashion world has already introduced us to that hideous pink shirt phase about 6 years ago, Jean Paul Gaultier has introduced the world to his new range of male grooming products aka make up for men and lets not forget those very colourful summers that we've experienced over the last two years with those fluro tank tops, floro pants,fluro hoodies and yes fluro head band all designed and created for those new age metro's! The very ironic thing is none of this is new we've all seen pictures of the fluro thing which was pretty evident in the eighties and the pink shirt thing...well I think that was the 60's and 70's...and the make up thing we can go right back to king Louis castle in the 16th century if not much earlier. So sequins/glitter/sparkle for men, why not it's just with most of the other predictions simply another aspect of history repeated...perhaps glam rock... I think so!
