July '09 - Andy Parsons

Andy Parsons has been working with The Young Model Programme since moving to Sligo from the UK in 2004. With a background in teaching and a parallel studio practice, Andy's work encompasses painting, sculpture and film. In his latest venture with the Young Model Programme, Andy converted the Wolfetone pharmacy in Sligo into the Wolf on Arm studio - a venue for workshops, for his own studio practice, for exhibitions, screenings and gigs. In this space Andy explored themes and media in his own work and with Young Model Programme participants. In this interview he talks about the ideas behind the work and the media explored, ownership of the work and organic collaboration.
