New piece of work made for Tuheen Huda's work 'What am I Worth' - a bloc of ice containing a kidney - amazingly it is in the shape of the iconic heart.
The ice will melt over a period of time revealing the kidney.

What do you do with £500? What process do you establish to give £500 away? What questions would you want to ask / maybe something about our relationship with money? If you had money to give away / how do you give it away? If you had a building given to you how would you use it? If you were not paying for water, electricity, business rates . . . how would you engage with people, money and yes the building? What is our relationship with art as we draw towards the end of 2012? I ask these questions following an excursion to Leeds where I was invited as a judge on what can only be described as a talent contest run by LAB under the banner of IDEA in the graphic of IKEA. But making the graphic for IKEA into IDEA does not make your idea of a talent contest any better than the massed produced furniture produced and purchased at IKEA. If this was a good idea then someone needs to go back to the drawing board and have a good look at IDEAS becoming IKEAS. In a building that was once a club and looks like its been decked out by IKEA, 'nice' but over posh and working too hard but nice, LAB is located having acquired a building for nothing through what series of devices. It's an institute full of dreams and potential - Artists arrived to be in contest with other artists. Artists traveled from Bristol and Brighton hoping to secure £500. They left out of pocket and defeated. Engaging with money / where ever it comes from / brings responsibility and I suggest that we are at an opportune time to question what we do with money. Rather than generating misery engage with it in a sublime manner and share it / enabling artists to be supported within the context of the most radical gesture. What could of been that gesture this time round? The Desk . . .
