I thought you might be interested to see how my experiments/artwork using Halen Mon salts are progressing. I’ve been using the chalk (washed from the salt) as a ground on the surface of glass sheets. I then cover with salt solution […]
Journal writing = hard work. I want to honour the work, and explore the conduits of mind, hand, pen, paper, eye, mind, hand…
The five artists shortlisted for the South East’s third annual Platform Graduate Award and mentoring programme have been announced.
My first funded project – a daunting prospect.
So it’s a bit of a cheat putting this here as it is not directly linked to my MA. However if you are like me and believe that art is life then it is indeed appropriate to post here. As […]
(Post by Bettina) Having introduced Mike to my way of working it is now my turn to visit his workshop and see what he does. The first thing I saw was the lathe and after a quick demonstration of what […]
This week’s selection ranges from a bumper Constable show at the V&A to surreal art ‘operas’ in Nottingham.

Session one: ‘Making Sculpture – View from the Studio’ A conversation between studio assistants and collaborators chaired by Jenny Dunseath, feat. Olivia Bax, Neil Ayling, Hamish Black and John Wallbank. (I didn’t take notes until Session 2. However, I am […]
I go to China on 31st October. That is in about 3 weeks, which is not long at all. I feel like I have lots to do before I go but maybe I am just panicking a bit? I think […]
‘There is not story that is not true” Chinua Achebe Working with the parents group at Midland Road Children’s Centre in Manningham, Bradford over the past weeks, I’m struck by their fantastic stories. They are full of banter and […]
Post 10 Christian Mooney – 2 July Not to repeat myself too much, although at this stage it seemed clear that some of the given advice was overlapping from the 5 mentors but of course with individual nuances. So I […]
The project with the bras and the songs is growing. Its form is becoming clearer as I work at it. It has a purpose and a focus. I have written lots of words, some will be discarded along the way, […]
It took a long time to adapt, but I’m getting more and more into the studio routine now. I’m finding that even if I only spend 3 ½ hours in the studio, its 3 ½ hours of solid work – […]
(Post by Mike Kann 06/10/2014) While on holiday in Spain, we planned to do a little workshop where Bettina could show me her artistic process and invite me into it. In the lead up to this we discussed our ways […]
So this week was the start (in effect) of my MA. My head is always crammed full of ideas, not always with a plan of how to execute them, but I never let that stop me. However due to the […]
Finally I can now bring the project up to date after what has been a ridiculously exhausting culmination of the first complete exhibition of Cicatrix. I say complete as a much scaled-down version was shown at Wiltshire Council’s new flagship […]
The prizewinners of the third annual Lumen Prize international award for digital art have been announced.
It’s over a fortnight since we installed Child’s Play at Imperial War Museum North, and launched The Book of Debts VIII as part of the opening of the Asia Triennial. It was a very intense week but I began […]
