Peter Coffin

Jon Bywater emailed me a promo of Peter Coffin's latest exhibition in London. 'Fjord bank glyphs quiz vest Cwm.What a coincidence!


A preview of the video:



It often happens as an art maker that you hit on an awesome idea, and then find out that actually someone has already done it, and they've done it a lot better than you. 

It's okay when that happens, if you look at it the right way. Looking at other artists whose work is similar to yours gives you an idea of context, and it pushes you even further to find some uncharted territory that you might call your own.

Anyway. Some of Peter Coffin's other works that I find interesting…
