A Day in the Life of David Newton


Our good friend David Newton has a show on the YouTube channel "The Artist's Well". David talks about 'collections':
So one of the things about the Sunday market is: the stuff that's on the ground, in the spirit of selection and spirit of found objects, I find this very compelling. If I put this element beside something else, it could become something else – it could become inseperable, might be ineteresting on a postcard. It could be part of something else, so, when this is combined. And people don't actually notice it.

… I learned something very important about finding things. This is fundamentally where artists live. … Something that's not a painting, that's not a sculpture, that's not like "aesthetic", can be aesthetic. And this Sunday market is purely that. And if you look, you may see; and if you see, you may just find something.
