It’s all work in progress.
Arriving at the Cylinders Estate; the location of Kurt Schwitters Merz Barn in Cumbria, last Monday was like entering a little bubble. A bubble where life is simple and pure. Fellow artist Alana Tyson and I were to be artists-in-residence […]
This month I began my residency with Bank Street Arts. The first thing on my to do list is to raise my target of £650 to get the project under way, so I’ve launched a crowd funding appeal with Indigogo […]
This week’s must-see shows range from Tate Modern’s major Sigmar Polke retrospective to a combination of sonic and visual art at BALTIC, Gateshead.
South Korean artist Koo Jeong A has been commissioned by Liverpool Biennial and Liverpool City Council to design a skate park in Everton made with luminous concrete.
Fi Burke’s latest project celebrates the culture and history of the windmills of rural Lincolnshire, the communities that once relied on them for their daily bread, and those living in their shadows today. We talk to the artist about her exhibition, Since Sliced Bread, which marks the culmination of her year spent exploring the ‘field to fork’ journey of the food we eat.
Following last weeks exciting meeting at Portway, I have been going through my ideas and trying to build them together to create lesson plans for the 5 weeks with the children. I know that until I meet the children and […]

“I approach new projects with an attitude of openness and a willingness to embrace my own ignorance, a recognition of my own stupidity” John Wynne sound artist At the end of last month, I went to see photographer Peter Sanders […]

This week ended with my first meeting at Portway Junior School, with the head teacher, Tim Deery and the head of arts, Millie Southway, so I spent the week preparing for this by creating some hand outs to take with […]
Yesterday, setting up the feathers, was an interesting experience. I had thought about this project for so long,and planned the installation, but when it was time to start hanging the feathers,I felt very nervous. The intention was to hang each […]
I got to an interesting point during the summer where my painting was moving on. My tutor had encouraged me to be more confident and I’d begun making stronger and more simplified marks with paint. A pause from painting during […]
This is the sort of project I love; concerns from my existing practice colliding with an external provocation (in this case, to respond to the collection of Maidstone Museum) to trigger a new idea. I’ve chosen to re-imagine what a […]
So here I am sitting in a gallery full of art invigilating so the public can have access to it whenever they want to. I am finding that the context of this big white space (No Format gallery in Woolwich, […]
“The paradox of old gramophone recordings is that, today, we perceive the singing voice whose clarity is obfuscated by scratches as more ‘realistic’ than the most faithful Dolby- stereo or THX recording – as if the very imperfection of the […]
I’ve recently re-shot a film I made to improve the footage and incorporate sound. It’s just had its debut at the 51zero arts festival in Medway allowing me to view it critically for the first time. The new stills are […]
