I left home just outside of London at 4.30am on the morning of Saturday 7th January and after 43 hours, and a lovely overnight stay with Jim and Laura in Wilmington, I arrived on Ocracoke at 7pm on Sunday 8th.
Here’s a little video journal of my journey. It was dark when I arrived and my body wasn’t yet in the right timezone so theres not much of the island. More of that later in the week.
Steve is a self-taught “outsider” artist known for his distinctive black and white drawings, his colourful paintings, his 3D wooden cut-outs and his unusual conceptual art projects such as the globally viral “(Not a) Lost Cat” project and “Sound of Silence”, the world’s first silent podcast featuring special guests. He has held various solo exhibitions around the UK and was Artist in Residence at Glen Dye in Scotland in 2022.
Steve finds the World a fascinatingly bizarre place and creates art to give his hyperactive imagination an outlet. His work has been described as “art which captures so well how weird and imperfect the world is.”
Steve is at his best when he doesn’t quite know what he is doing
