The Tetley

Today I went to the recently opened Tetley gallery which had been refurbished after previously being a brewery. 

They had an exhibition called 'A New Reality' which showcases cross disciplinary artworks that relate to the sites past and future. 

As this was the opening weekend the space was a bit empty but I intend to look out for any future exhibitions they might put on display. 

Someone I Admire: Brock Davis

I have chosen designer Brock Davis as the person who I admire and am inspired by. I chose him because of his unconventional concepts which clearly communicate a message using everyday items. He also manages to add humour to his work where appropriate.

I really liked his idea of creating something everyday as it really leads to variety and is a good way to channel ideas, most of the work from this project are things he has come across in everyday life. 

I intend to contact Brock through email and tweets to ask him a few questions.
