My 2004 painting Half a Self Portrait is currently being exhibited in Istanbul at @arteristanbul in an exhibition called Suppose you are not. Curated by @selenansen4392 This painting was an exploration of what it felt like to not know the identity of my Father, since I was conceived by artificial insemination. Since this time I have discovered the identity of my Father thanks to DNA testing and I’m happy to report that he is a splendid fellow #artificialinsemination #donorinsemination #happyending #dna @ancestry @23andme

Miscellanalects is finished. It’s been a crazy year. In August my wife @ghostofsongs and I mounted a folklore festival @blackshuckfestivalbungay in our local town. And then it was all systems go to finish creating the work for my exhibition Miscellanalects at Flowers Gallery. The exhibition included two short films as well as sculptures, paintings, drawings and etchings. Many people helped to make this possible and I’d like to thank them: first and foremost my wife Polly, who starred in both movies, helped make a soundtrack, posed for paintings and drawings and also supported me through an intense period of work. Secondly I’d like to thank @jasonwickuk who made the soundtrack with Polly, posed for paintings, wrote and recorded songs, performed in one of the films and helped with all the electronic elements in the sculptures and paintings. So many people helped with the films: Rory Fitzgerald filmed and edited them both, the performers: @katieg8 Brenna Wilkinson, @waveney_build_ , Polly and Jason, @carlrandallartist and @macfearghuis who deserves a special thank you for also writing two pieces of music and posing for one of the paintings. My daughter Theda wrote a piece of music. Carl Randall and Jonathan Paige helped with lighting for the movies. Ian let me borrow his wonderful orange corvette for one of the films. Lots of people posed for paintings as well: @florencemhall @kamaraga_ Claire, Jonathan Paige, Polly and Jason, Katrina Black, Caroline Lucas, @tobyhammond26 @williamdrewbatty @robbrydon @frraaannnnnnn my Mother and Father, Carl Randall, HM the King, my son Wulfred, my Uncle Douglas and David Wade. I would also like to thank all the people who came to visit the exhibition and took the time to engage with the work, watch the films and who posted and promoted the exhibition to their own followers. Last of all I would like to say a huge thank you to the staff at Flowers Gallery, particularly to @matthew_flowers @jamesulph_ @emilyjdflowers @ninoparent James Skevington, and @isabel_bingley for hosting the exhibition and all the hard work and support. It was a great privilege to exhibit my work in such a beautiful space

This drawing of my Father was made on a tram in Amsterdam earlier this year. I have only known my Father since 2019, having traced him through a DNA test. He is an extraordinary man and it has been a pleasure to get to know him. You can see this drawing today and tomorrow in current exhibition Miscellanalects which runs until 25th November 2023 at Flowers, 21 Cork Street, London.

I was conceived through anonymous sperm donation back in 1975. I grew up not knowing the identity of my Father. This was a cause of real distress, pain and anger for me. In 2019 I did a DNA test and found a distant paternal relative living in Canada. After many months of searching and constructing a family tree, with the help of an amazing DNA detective I worked out the identity of my Father. I made contact with him and we met up. It’s good to know that some stories do have a happy ending, and yet that first meeting was just the beginning of the story. Earlier this year my Father and I travelled to Amsterdam together and had a wonderful time, and I now have an entire new paternal family. All of this has been wonderful. This is a big story and one which I plan to tell in a big way at some stage, but in the meantime I have made a bronze of my Father and a drawing of him on a tram in Amsterdam. These are both part of my current exhibition Miscellanalects which runs until tomorrow: 25th November 2023 at Flowers, 21 Cork Street, London. The exhibition features 40 2D works (paintings/drawings/etchings) two films and four sculptures. #newwork #contemporaryart #contemporaryexhibition #londonart #britishart #fivurativepainting #figurativesculpture #contemporarysculpture #contemporarydrawing #artfilm #arthouse #folkhorror #blackshuck #folklore #eastanglianfolklore #suffolk #norfolk #donorinsemination #donorinseminationstories #halfboy
